    This player of relatively recent vintage led his league in triples four years in a row, then didn't one year, then was traded and led his new league in triples. Who am I?

    Blind guess: Lance Johnson.

    Yes, Lance Johnson. Four times with the White Sox, traded to the Mets, then had a career-high 21.

    Saw this this morning. The Toronto Raptors finished the 2020 regular season with five players averaging 15 or more points per game (Lowry, VanVleet, Saikam, Powell, Ibaka). Before that, when was the last time this happened?

    The answer is, the 1974 Buffalo Braves. Bob McAdoo, Jim McMillian, Ernie DiGregorio, Randy Smith and Garfield Heard all averaged 15.2 points or more.

    Another question: Who was the first MLB player to use a Louisville Slugger concave bat? I think the model number was a C271.

    Jose Cardenal.

    Would never have guessed that, but Cardinal was an original to say the least.

    Name the only NBA player to retire with more career blocks than career points?

    Both good guesses, but neither of them.
