On September 8, 1979, in a game against the Baltimore Orioles, who was the last major league hitter allowed to make a plate appearance without wearing a helmet?

Craig McTavish and it was 1997

Status: offline 		Just did a sporcle quiz. I got every Twins opening day starting pitcher right except for 3 seasons. I should have guessed at least one of the guys I missed correctly. But I did pretty well to come up with Redfern in 1982, Williams in 1984, and Tewksbury in 1998.

So here are the ones I missed:

1968
1969
1983

Take your guesses on those 3 years.

The correct answer is Robert Smith.




Oh,
Robert Smith is also the answer to this question.

Who is the biggest Dick of all the College Football Talking Heads?

Although, the judges will also accept David Pollack.


And

Who was the running back who stepped out of bounds in the MN/ATL NFC Championship Game when he needed to run the clock?


You got that right.

Over the years I blame Smith for that crap as much as Gary Anderson. Smith wasn't a team first guy, I can't blame him for not wanting to take the punishment but it cost an entire franchise a trip to the Super Bowl.



Robert Smith ran harder and tougher in that game than possibly any other game he ever played. Going out of bounds wasn't nearly as significant as some like to think it was.

Smith pounded out tough (too conservative play calling) yards between the tackles. He out performed Jamal Anderson, who led the league in attempts that season. Anderson was built like a fire hydrant, yet it was Smith who gutted out the tough yards. And per usual, didn't put the ball on the carpet.

There is a long list of blame before I get to Smith in that game.
Green, Anderson, Cunningham, Griffith certainly made bigger blunders.

What really pissed me off about Anderson, he threw Berger under the bus, complaining about a bad hold.


Was it Berger who threw Mike Morris under the bus?

The other two are incorrect, Roy.

Another wonder draft pick that flamed out.

The one that really bummed me out was Pete Redfern.
He was just getting to better than average and he pitched hurt, so they released him. Had to settle for some $

Then just over a year later he got hurt in a diving accident after AAA w/the Dodgers.


I guess Redfern is still partially paralyzed.

No, the point of trivia is that the topic be somewhat interesting. Who relieved Brad Havens in the second inning of a blowout is not trivia. It's just something from a list of stuff, nobody gives a shit about.

So you have no idea. Kinda sad really. You probably watched that game. But you can't even venture a guess.

PETE FILSON

I probably could have guessed that if someone asked the question to me.

I was curious as to how he fared in that opener.
