Arena The Sixth Baseball Draft - The FODEUSS Awakens (HEELS HAS WON)

Bryan Shaw striking out Javy Baez is indeed the highest strikeout in cWPA history for major league baseball. Congrats, Lloyd

 

Damn. I was totally thrown off by the "c" part of it. I should've known!!! Good job, Lloyd (and Tom who must've been just a few seconds late on clicking Post Reply)

@Wang Chi, who's the next Demonbag?

 

They're no Dick Pole or Rusty Kuntz, but they'll do!

 

i figured out the other trivia question, but it required some digging that probably qualifies as cheating. if anyone gets it without looking it up i'll be seriously impressed.

 

This probs isn't the right year, but we need at least one more guy besides Jr. and Marte that can play a decent CF, and we're all set at 2B.

Proud to give Larry Doby (CF, 1950) a seat at the table.

1B - Cleveland's Own Big Ed Delahanty (1896)
2B - Jack Glasscock (1889)

@Point Given

 

If you didn't go to Baseball reference, go to cWPA leaders, filter to "strikeouts", and sort high to low, I'm probably ok with it ...

 

that's not exactly what i did, but it's basically what ended up happening.

 

I'm gonna provide one more guess on the hitter. Is it Ron Gant?

 

just for fun,

julio rodriguez, 2022

@mnjedi

 

Roy Oswalt SP 2010

@LloydChristmas

 

This is why Gant and Justice came to mind for me. My guess is Jack Morris did it in the '91 Series.

 

Speaking of legendary WS performances, Charles Benjamin Adams 1909 for his 3 complete games in that Honus vs. Ty Cobb series

@AmazingB

 

Much like Harry B, I'm expecting him to beat worlds over on your team after sucking eggs on mine...

 

Lennie Pearson, Util, 1942

@dp4m

Amazing.

 

Rube Foster's brother, Bill! And a defensive catching specialist that played for the Yankees (homer!) and Cleveland (manager homer!), but who had his best CS% when he played for the Philadelphia Athletics.

Amazing.

 

Is Buddy Rosar the name they used in a late 80s football game for the Cleveland quarterback when they didn't have rights to use the actual names of the players?

 

#checkpoint

 

I looked it up and WTF?

 

I’m going to take a hail mary on the exact wording of the clue as go with Elmer Flick as a mid year free agent signing and then a keeper slot, he technically never been drafted. (He also never played in a World Series, so you know, probably not.)
