Box Score Trivia Game

Too early. This had to be before 1960. '56-'57 is my guess. Hmm ...

 

Last game at Ebbets Field.

 

yup.
Was taking the visiting team TOO obscure for everyone?

 

Nah. Just had to figure out the only noteworthy game the Pirates were involved in that year.

Here's the next one:

S Collins RF 5 1 1 0 0 1 .333 .722 1 0
F McMullin 3B 3 0 0 0 1 0 .158 .411 1 4 SH

Screw it. I don't care about milestone posts anyway. I'm thinking 1919 World Series. I wanna say Game 8, but that seems like too many runs.

 

OK< the team was the 1919 black sox and I;ll guess that it was the series finale against the Reds...

 

We're both wrong.

 

So can we answer if we follow a hunch and look it up? Or do we need to guess it? Because we're gonna be here a long damn time otherwise, you obscure bastard.

 

The clincher of the 1917 World Series?

 

Game 5, 1917 world serious

 

Thank you, Ring Lardner.

The real reason that game is noteworthy is this: It's the only World Series game -- and one of the few ever -- in which all eight of the infamous Men Out appeared in the same box score.

 

Yeah, why did you pick Game 5, you weirdo? 1917 just isn't obscure enough for you?

EDIT: Ah, OK.
