The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket!

 

[thisisbad]

By lead their league, you mean wither National or American, right, and not the whole league?

sorry if that's a dumb question

Well, Roger Hornsby is my first one?

 

[Tito]

Yes, either National or American. Hornsby is one of them.

There are my cheats, let me know if i did that right?

 

[Tito]

Right. That's six of them. Anyone know the other 2?

 

[thisisbad]

Do you care if i try to answer the other two?

I mean, i did look all this stuff up. I'm guessing no one has this memorized?

Arky Vaughan

Jimmie Foxx (tied for BOB)

That was a tough question, did you have all that info in one spot?

 

[Tito]

Got them all right. I didn't have this all in one spot. It was a question on the local radio show for playoff tickets for the Tribe a couple of years ago. Back then the only one I didn't know was Arky Vaughn.

Way to go
