hall of fame trivia questions

02-03-2002, 01:46 AM

Help! I have a fanatic nephew who is obsessed with baseball history and trivia. He regularly sends me baseball trivia "challenges", which I labor over to answer. A few questions on which I am positively stumped are:
1) Only Hallof Famers whose children are married to each other
2) Only Hall of Famer with a twin brothe (not necessary baseball player)
3) Only Hall of Fame pitcher to homer in the World Series.
4) Which team had players wearing the numbers 0 and 99?
5) Who played in the World Series most without being on the winning team?
Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated, so as to maintain my relationship.

Bob - welcome to the forum.

BTW, usually, threads are started here (in trivia) by folks that know the answers (so to quiz the rest of us).

Only Hall of Famer with a twin brother (not necessary baseball player)? See:

Which team had players wearing the numbers 0 and 99?

The Mets - Ordonez once wore 0 and Wendell wore 99. Pretty sure on that one.

I'm pretty sure the answer to number 5 is Fred Merkle, he played in 5 World Series his team winning none of those.

Mets, but only in 1997.
