Name the Hall of Famer with the lowest All-Star Game batting average 9 in 50+ plate appearances).
A. Hank Aaron
B. Willie Mays
C. Mickey Mantle
D. Stan Musial
E. Jackie Robinson
Answer: A,
"Hammerin' Hank" hit just .194 in 25 All-Star games, logging 13 hits, two homers, and eight RBI in 72 at bats. Then again, he also holds the record for most All-Star games played.
Name the National League team that hit .315 for the season but finished last in the standings.
A. 1906 Cubs
B. 1930 Phillies
C. 1950 Dodgers
D. 2010 Rockies
Answer: B.
Not only did Philadelphia finish dead last, but their record was an abysmal 52-102.
Led by Chuck Klein ( .383 average, 40 homers, 170 RBI), Lefty O'Doul ( .383 average, 22 homers, 97 RBI), and Pinky Whitney ( .342 average) this team touched the plate 944 times- that's better than six runs per game! But their team ERA was 6.71, and they gave up 1,199 runs.
