3,000 Hits Trivia

Gwreck Aug 08 2016 03:06 AM

Congratulations to Ichiro Suzuki for being the 30th player in MLB history to accumulate 3,000 hits. EASY: 1. Ichiro was the first player to reach 3,000 hits that has played for the Florida Marlins. That leaves two franchises who have never had a player on their roster (at any time) who has reached 3,000 hits. What 2 franchises? 2. Who are the only players to have played for the New York Mets who have accumulated 3,000 lifetime hits? MEDIUM 3. Ichiro played for 3 different teams (Seattle, New York-AL and Florida) in his career. 10 of the players to accumulate 3,000 hits played their entire careers with 1 team. Who are they? HARD 4. Ichiro is the seventh player to reach 3,000 hits to have played part of his career with the Yankees. Who are the other 6? 5. The Yankees are the only franchise to have 7 individuals who have played with them reach 3,000 hits. The next closest franchise had 5 players over its history. What franchise? And who were the 5 players? 6. Ichiro is the only player to have played for the Florida Marlins who has reached 3,000 lifetime hits. There are 7 other franchises that have had only 1 such player. Which franchises and which players?

I'm calling from the jerk store to point out Ichiro never played for the Florida Marlins. He's been only a Miami Marlin. I'll hang up now.

Gwreck Aug 08 2016 12:28 PM Re: 3,000 Hits Trivia

The Athletics are the correct franchise for #5, and Cobb and Henderson are two of the 5 players.

Mets Guy in Michigan Aug 08 2016 06:46 PM Re: 3,000 Hits Trivia

One of the missing MFYs is Ichiro, no? I think Waner tarnished an otherwise nice career by ending with the MFYs.

Gwreck Aug 08 2016 07:28 PM Re: 3,000 Hits Trivia Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 08 2016 07:30 PM

Nice job. Paul Waner finished his career with 10 plate appearances with the MFYs. He had exactly one hit for them, #3152, the final one of his career.

Paul Waner played for the Boston Braves.

How about Pete Rose as the lone Redleg?

SteveJRogers Aug 09 2016 02:05 AM Re: 3,000 Hits Trivia

I think Tris Speaker signed with Philly as well with Cobb after the gambling issue that ended their careers with Cleveland and Detroit respectively.
