Who has the most career home runs without hitting a World Series Home Run?

 

Sammy Sosa

 

I looked up the answer, and it is not Sammy. That should really narrow it down.

 

Mays?

 

Barely Bonds?

 

Willie Mays ... 0 HRs in either one of the 3 Series he played in with the Giants and Mets.

 

Willie Mays.

Played in four series (51, 54, 62, 73) and did not homer. Made the great catch in 1954 butr was not an especially good post-season player offensively.


Here's a good one. Pick a left-handed and a right-handed pitcher who were born in the same city and see if they can combine for more than 567 career wins, the total by native Buffalonians Warren Spahn (363) and Orel Hershisher (204).

Cy Young was born in Newcomerstown, Ohio; Christy Mathewson in Factoryville, Pa., and Walter Johnson in Humbolt, Kansas. Tough to match them up with anyone, I'd think.

 

Who was the last Jew to win a batting title?

 

I'm going to have to say Buddy Myer. He's the only Jewish player I can think of that won a batting title.

 

Nope. Guess again.

 

Rod Carew.
