Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 11:33 AM

Without clicking the link in the article I posted in the other thread, name the 13 members of the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 23 2010 11:34 AM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Gotta be Nolan Ryan. How about... Jim Sundberg?

TransMonk Jul 23 2010 11:34 AM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Nolan Ryan...it's all I got.

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 11:35 AM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Both in the first class: 2003 Jim Sundberg Catcher 2003 Nolan Ryan Pitcher Two of these guys, I've never heard of. Good luck with those. Benjamin Grimm: Four Points

Centerfield Jul 23 2010 11:39 AM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

I read that Johnny Oates number was retired, so that's probably one. Ruben Sierra Pete Incaviglia Juan Gonzalez

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 11:42 AM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

2003 Jim Sundberg Catcher 2003 Nolan Ryan Pitcher 2003 Johnny Oates Manager 2009 Ruben Sierra Outfilder Benjamin Grimm: Four Points Centerfield: Two Points (wrong on Gonzalez and Inky)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 23 2010 11:45 AM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Jeff Burroughs Julio Franco Kenny Rogers

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 11:52 AM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Jeff Burroughs Julio Franco Kenny Rogers All of these are good guesses. All, interestingly, are wrong. Benjamin Grimm: Four Points Centerfield: Two Points (wrong on Gonzalez and Inky) J.C. Lunchbucket: -3 points (wrong on Burroughs, Franco, Rogers) One of these was a gimme.

Willets Point Jul 23 2010 11:54 AM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

George W. Bush should be in there for getting the government to build them a stadium and making massive profits from public money. Oh wait, that's the Hall of Shame.

If Willets isn't guessing him, I will. Also Billy Martin. OE - I looked it up and I'm 0 for 2. That's not an easy list. On the other hand, I think I'd find "Name a Texas Ranger" to be a fairly difficult trivia question.

Rockin' Doc Jul 23 2010 12:10 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 12:13 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Nope on Martin and Bush. Rodriguez, of course, isn't yet retired. I'll fill in the two purely local figures as it would take research and about 175 guesses to come up with them. 2003 Jim Sundberg Catcher =#0000FF](Ben Grimm) 2003 __________ Pitcher 2003 Johnny Oates Manager =#0000FF](Centerfield) 2003 Nolan Ryan Pitcher =#0000FF](Ben Grimm) 2004 __________ Third baseman 2004 __________ Pitcher 2004 Tom Vandergriff Pioneer 2005 Mark Holtz Broadcaster 2005 __________ Pitcher 2007 __________ Outfielder 2009 __________ Infielder 2009 Ruben Sierra Outfielder =#0000FF](Centerfield) 2010 __________ Player/Executive Benjamin Grimm: 4 Points Centerfield: 2 Points (wrong on Gonzalez and Inky) Rockin Doc: -1 points (wrong on Rodriguez) Chad Ochoseis: -2 points (wrong on Bush, Martin) J.C. Lunchbucket: -3 points (wrong on Burroughs, Franco, Rogers)

seawolf17 Jul 23 2010 12:24 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Tom Grieve is the new member. Juan Gonzalez is the OF?

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 12:31 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

You get the gimme on Grieve, but JuanGone has already been wrongly guessed. 2003 Jim Sundberg Catcher =#0000FF](Ben Grimm) 2003 __________ Pitcher 2003 Johnny Oates Manager =#0000FF](Centerfield) 2003 Nolan Ryan Pitcher =#0000FF](Ben Grimm) 2004 __________ Third baseman 2004 __________ Pitcher 2004 Tom Vandergriff Pioneer 2005 Mark Holtz Broadcaster 2005 __________ Pitcher 2007 __________ Outfielder 2009 __________ Infielder 2009 Ruben Sierra Outfielder =#0000FF](Centerfield) 2010 Tom Grieve Player/Executive=#0000FF](Seawolf17) Benjamin Grimm: 4 Points Centerfield: 2 Points (wrong on Gonzalez and Inky) Seawolf17: 1 point (wrong on Gonzalez) Rockin Doc: -1 point (wrong on Rodriguez) Chad Ochoseis: -2 points (wrong on Bush, Martin) J.C.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 23 2010 12:40 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Charlie Hough?

Ashie62 Jul 23 2010 12:42 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Dean Palmer Gaylord Perry Ted Williams Toby Harrah

Centerfield Jul 23 2010 12:44 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

The Texas Rangers have pioneers? How does one apply for a position?

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 12:47 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

We have Hough and Harrah, who is also in the palindrome Hall of Fame with Robb Nen 2003 Jim Sundberg Catcher =#0000FF](Ben Grimm) 2003 Charlie Hough Pitcher =#0000FF](Ben Grimm) 2003 Johnny Oates Manager =#0000FF](Centerfield) 2003 Nolan Ryan Pitcher =#0000FF](Ben Grimm) 2004 __________ Third baseman 2004 __________ Pitcher 2004 Tom Vandergriff Pioneer 2005 Mark Holtz Broadcaster 2005 __________ Pitcher 2007 __________ Outfielder 2009 Toby Harrah Infielder =#0000FF](Ashie62) 2009 Ruben Sierra Outfielder =#0000FF](Centerfield) 2010 Tom Grieve Player/Executive=#0000FF](Seawolf17) Benjamin Grimm: 5 Points Centerfield: 2 Points (wrong on Gonzalez and Inky) Seawolf17: 1 point (wrong on Gonzalez) Ashie62: -1 point (wrong on Palmer, Perry, Williams) Rockin Doc: -1 point (wrong on Rodriguez) Chad Ochoseis: -2 points (wrong on Bush, Martin) J.C.

Willets Point Jul 23 2010 12:49 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Surely Cordell Walker is in the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame.

seawolf17 Jul 23 2010 01:00 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Rusty Greer is the outfielder.

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 01:05 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

That's impressive. 2003 Jim Sundberg Catcher =#0000FF](Ben Grimm) 2003 Charlie Hough Pitcher =#0000FF](Ben Grimm) 2003 Johnny Oates Manager =#0000FF](Centerfield) 2003 Nolan Ryan Pitcher =#0000FF](Ben Grimm) 2004 __________ Third baseman 2004 __________ Pitcher 2004 Tom Vandergriff Pioneer 2005 Mark Holtz Broadcaster 2005 __________ Pitcher 2007 Rusty Greer Outfielder =#0000FF](Seawolf17) 2009 Toby Harrah Infielder =#0000FF](Ashie62) 2009 Ruben Sierra Outfielder =#0000FF](Centerfield) 2010 Tom Grieve Player/Executive =#0000FF](Seawolf17) Benjamin Grimm: 5 Points Seawolf17: 3 points (wrong on Gonzalez) Centerfield: 2 Points (wrong on Gonzalez and Inky) Ashie62: -1 point (wrong on Palmer, Perry, Williams) Rockin Doc: -1 point (wrong on Rodriguez) Chad Ochoseis: -2 points (wrong on Bush, Martin) J.C.

Willets Point Jul 23 2010 01:16 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

I should be in double negative scores for sarcastic answers, but Edgy just ignores me.

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 01:22 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

I already made the Chuck Norris reference in the Sons of Rico thread, but I hadn't known the character's first name was Cordell. In fact, I kind of guessed he didn't have one.

Met Hunter Jul 23 2010 02:19 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Jeff Burroughs has to be the third baseman.

Met Hunter Jul 23 2010 02:19 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Pete Incaviglia?

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 02:28 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Both incorrect and already guessed.

Has to be... Buddy Bell, y'all!

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 02:53 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Fergie Jenkins and Matlack. Boom!

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 03:10 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Matlack is wrong, and he said Jenkins nine minutes before you, fool!

batmagadanleadoff Jul 23 2010 03:16 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Fool!

Aw, don't give me no back talk, sucka. Rusty Greer, but no Larry Parrish? Odd. Bobby Witt?

Kenny Bleeping Rogers, he of the perfect game in a Rangers uniform.

Edgy DC Jul 23 2010 06:18 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

He was already guessed too! Do I have to come to each your houses and slap every one of you upside your fool heads?

seawolf17 Jul 24 2010 07:14 PM Re: Hall of Fame Quiz

Fergie Jenkins was a Ranger? I call shenanigans.
