Who was the first player to hit a home run to win three 1-0 games in the same season?

BBapplepie · 11-14-2002, 03:35 PM

Just a guess, Ted Williams?

KCBOOMER · 11-14-2002, 03:50 PM

It was not the Kid. This guy is not in the HoF.

KCBOOMER · 11-18-2002, 11:41 AM

This player is still active and is knowd for his "steel".

gyb13 · 11-19-2002, 03:02 PM

I "steel" don't know

KCBOOMER · 11-19-2002, 03:08 PM

Well, it's Gary Sheffield who did this in 2001.

Craig S. · 11-19-2002, 03:24 PM

What was the "steel" clue about? Is that a nickname or something?

Thanks, gyb.

Just didn't click with me at all.

gyb13 · 11-20-2002, 10:33 AM

me either, guess it's an oklahoma/missouri thing

rcartman28 · 11-20-2002, 10:38 AM

I originally thought "Sheffield" was referring to one of those old British industrial cities.....

YankeeLinks · 11-20-2002, 01:32 PM

cartman, you're correct. Sheffield, England is known as the "Steel City" and has been famous for high quality steel and steel products for many years.

I can't fathom what OK/MO has to do with this hint (or me for that matter).

I made the mistake in assuming that men of your erudition had heard of Sheffield Steel.

that's where sheffield steel is based, according to their site. so i figured since you live in MO, that's why you heard of 'em
