1) is Babe Ruth, but you could also accept Tilly Walker
3) I think is Ty Cobb, but I'm not too sure on that
7) Forbes Field
On edit:
5 is Cy Young.

0 fer 12. If you gave me the same quiz as (a) or (b) multiple choice I'd still probably only get about three right. |

Soon to be your local trash man.
I don't play golf anymore. Well, maybe I do sort of. I quit keeping score, started drinkning beer and I started playing better.

Americans only love sports invented here. I've been an American for about half my life. That gives me football and maybe March Madness. I fully intend to love baseball right about when I go senile. |

#5. I think it is Early Winn. Looked it up. Wayy wrong.  I was a youngster when he pitched for the Indians, and remember him hitting that number, though not with the Indians. I guess that's as far as my brain goes back. |
