The Bartolo Colon 20 / 30 / 41 / 25 / 50 Trivia Quiz

Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Dec 14 2013 07:44 AM

This info comes to you courtesy of Friday’s NY Times (they didn’t make it a quiz, but I am ... and, of course, no peeking for the answers) so here’s what’s up with all those numbers:
- 20 different pitchers
- over the last 30 years
- have made at least 25 ML starts
- at age 41 or older
- and, because a number of them did it more than once, this group accomplished the feat a total of 50 times

I’m not asking here for the how many from each, only to see if we can name these 20 recent-era pitchers (1984 or later) whose feats the Mets hope will be duplicated by Bartolo Colon at least once in the 2014 & 2015 seasons seeing as how he’ll turn 41 in May.

no cheating ... one answer per, ... yadda, yadda

No, nobody named Warren Goldfish started 25 or more games in the majors in the last 30 years.
And you lost me with that first one too.

Yes, even though he was mostly a reliever until his late 70s, Wakefield did manage to slide one season of starting under the wire.
And how quickly we forget the most recent example.

Gaylord Perry was not correct in either guess - he did make 25 or more starts at the ages of 41, 43 & 44, but he did so prior to 1984 so he just misses the 'last 30 seasons' cutoff.

David Wells IS correct, but it was also correct when it was first guessed some 10 hours ago (check the chart)

And, to the best of my knowledge, John Chickenfat never pitched in the major leagues.

Re: The Bartolo Colon 20 / 30 / 41 / 25 / 50 Trivia Quiz

Yup, Danny Darwin it is, an answer that I wouldn't have come up with if given all week. Maybe it's because he spent all that time in AL but, to me anyway, he's got to be the most anonymous 21 year ML vet in the recent era.

Kind of a weird career too.
21 years in the majors split among Texas, Houston, Boston, San Fran, Milwaukee, Pitt, Toronto, and the ChiSox.
But he started barely half the time (371 starts - 716 appearances) and almost 20% of those starts came after he turned 40 - starting 25, 24, & 25 games at age 40, 41 & 42 in the final three years of his career, ending with the 1998 Giants.

He wound up with 171 wins (lost 182), had a decent career ERA (3.84) and WHiP (1.27) and led the league in ERA & ERA+ once, WHiP twice, low walk rate & low HR rate once each - yet never made an AS team, never got a single CY vote, and never appeared in a post-season game (despite being on the ‘86 Astros).

Photo guesses are the best. I didn't have time to put random images there and make people guess who the hell I was talking about.

Time to dust off this thread from the pre-season as today's was Bartolo's 25th start of the year, meaning he joins the club of 41 year olds with 25 or more starts becoming the 21st pitcher since 1984 to do so.
And it looks like he's on his way to 30 this season and he'd be a tough guy to bet against for next season as well (whether with the Mets or somewhere else, or a combo of the two).
