Mind-Expanding Question #1, circa 1977

sweaver · 02-12-2002, 09:08 PM

Name the lineup, including positions, for the Mariners on Opening Day 1977, and also the team they played.

SmedIndy · 02-13-2002, 09:07 AM

Blasted 7-0 by the Angels. Diego Segui started.

If I had my guess:

P - Diego Segui
C - Bob Stinson
1B - Dan Meyer
2B - Larry Milbourne
SS - Craig Reynolds
3B - Bill Stein
LF - Dave Collins
CF - Ruppert Jones
RF - Carlos Lopez
DH - Leroy Stanton

Segui, Stinson, Meyer, Reynolds, Stein, and Rupe Jones are correct. Stanton was in right and Collins at DH. That leaves 2B and LF.

Also, what was the batting order?

SmedIndy · 02-13-2002, 11:11 AM

2B - Jose Baez
LF - Steve Braun

Order (?)

1. Collins
2. Stein
3. Jones
4. Stanton
5. Meyer
6. Braun
7. Stinson
8. Reynolds
9. Baez

Correct on the last two players. Collins and Stanton are in the right order slots, but not the others.

SmedIndy · 02-13-2002, 02:15 PM

Why the hell they would start Steve Braun against a lefty....

sweaver · 02-13-2002, 02:20 PM

Good question, but I don't know if the answer is printable in a family-oriented forum.

sweaver · 02-14-2002, 10:51 PM

To recap, for the Mariners' first-ever lineup, we have:
1. Collins, DH
2.
3.
4. Stanton, RF
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
And these players to go in the slots: C Bob Stinson, 1B Dan Meyer, 2B Jose Baez, SS Craig Reynolds, 3B Bill Stein, LF Steve Braun, CF Rupe Jones.

Nope. Gotta rearrange those lefties.

SmedIndy · 02-18-2002, 09:58 AM

Boy, Darrell Johnson was an idiot, wasn't he.

sweaver · 02-18-2002, 10:24 AM

In all fairness, he didn't have much to work with.
