Triple Trivia Fun

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jose Reyes, in tripling last eve, moved into sixth place among active triplers. Interestingly, the active lead is now shared by three players.

I challenge you to name the top ten active triplers, which will actually be 13 guys, as four players are also tied at 10.

Hint: there are only two full-time righthanded batters on the list. The rest are lefties or switchies.

Put me down for Rollins, Ichiro, Castillo and ugh! Jeter and Damon.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

One at a time with the guessing?

I'll go Juan Pierre.

Juan Pierre
Johnny Damon
Rafael Furcal
Carl Crawford
Alfonzo Soriano

[Fman99]

Juan Pierre. Carl Crawford. Hanley Ramirez? Omar Vizquel?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Fine, hog-jerks.

Just pretend I didn't say nuthin' after Rollins. May I offer you a cigar as a token of reconciliation?

Have a cigar. You're gonna go far.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Granderson?

[MFS62]

Junior Griffey.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Renteria?

Does Durham count? (Or even make it?)

One at a time. If you're going to be a hog about this, then gimme back my cigar.

I say Furcal.

Yeah, how about that. Nothing like having 8 of the correct answers posted by the same person like 3 minutes after the initial post.

I'll throw in Michael Young as a guess.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Sorry. The quizmaster asked for 10, though.

So how do you know that eight responses are correct?

More of an assumption, really. It's not really my intention to be a whiny SOB here.

Oh, you B-R.com-looking cheekymonkey.

Congratulations to JCL for realizing there is an American league outside of the Yanks and Sawx, but Soriano was a terrible terrible guess, tied for 70th place with 25 trips.

One strike on him. One on Fman for Hanley Ramirez --- 81st place with 22. One also to MFS62. Griffey is 30th with 38.

Three strikes and yer out to LWFS. Figgins is 16th with 54. Renteria is 64th with 27. Durham is right out.

We may want to discuss protocol and ettiquette for such trivquizzes, to avoid the bitter bitterness of the late.

Anyhow, great work. Two dudes remain.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

oe: saw my incorrectness too late.

Ha! Sweet vindication, as there were actually 11 answers right.

Also it appears my guess was wrong but we can ignore that for these purposes.

You said two bat right-handed. So one of the two remaining answers must be righty. I'm stumped for now.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, Jetes was one. The other two are no strangers to the NL East.

Gwreck owes every forum member one cigar.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Brian Roberts? (hopes not to be scolded)

[MFS62]

Bobby Abreu?

Later

[Gwreck]

Vladimir Guerrero?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Roberts is a bold, brave, and heartbreaking guess. It alas is wrong. Brian is tied for 45th at 33. That's two strikes, son, so choke up.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Vernon Wells (runs)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Vladd is number 22 with 44. Strike one.

Vernon Wells is number 52 with 28. Good run, but that's strike three.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Heinie Manush.

[Chad ochoseis]

Andruw Jones?
