Hall of Fame Quiz

[Guest Edgy DC]

Without clicking the link in the article I posted in the other thread, name the 13 members of the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Gotta be Nolan Ryan.

How about... Jim Sundberg?

[TransMonk]

Nolan Ryan...it's all I got.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Both in the first class:

2003 Jim Sundberg Catcher
2003 Nolan Ryan Pitcher

Two of these guys, I've never heard of. Good luck with those.

Benjamin Grimm: Four Points

[Centerfield]

I read that Johnny Oates number was retired, so that's probably one.

Ruben Sierra
Pete Incaviglia
Juan Gonzalez

[Guest Edgy DC]

2003 Jim Sundberg Catcher
2003 Nolan Ryan Pitcher
2003 Johnny Oates Manager
2009 Ruben Sierra Outfilder

Benjamin Grimm: Four Points
Centerfield: Two Points (wrong on Gonzalez and Inky)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jeff Burroughs
Julio Franco
Kenny Rogers

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jeff Burroughs Julio Franco Kenny Rogers

All of these are good guesses. All, interestingly, are wrong.

Benjamin Grimm: Four Points
Centerfield: Two Points (wrong on Gonzalez and Inky)
J.C. Lunchbucket: -3 points (wrong on Burroughs, Franco, Rogers)

One of these was a gimme.

[Willets Point]

George W. Bush should be in there for getting the government to build them a stadium and making massive profits from public money.

Oh wait, that's the Hall of Shame.

[Chad ochoseis]

Willets Point wrote: George W. Bush should be in there for getting the government to build them a stadium and making massive profits from public money.

W actually isn't a bad guess. If Willets isn't guessing him, I will.

Also Billy Martin.


OE - I looked it up and I'm 0 for 2. That's not an easy list.

On the other hand, I think I'd find "Name a Texas Ranger" to be a fairly difficult trivia question.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nope on Martin and Bush. Rodriguez, of course, isn't yet retired.

I'll fill in the two purely local figures as it would take research and about 175 guesses to come up with them.

[Willets Point]

I should be in double negative scores for sarcastic answers, but Edgy just ignores me.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I already made the Chuck Norris reference in the Sons of Rico thread, but I hadn't known the character's first name was Cordell. In fact, I kind of guessed he didn't have one.

[Met Hunter]

Jeff Burroughs has to be the third baseman.

[Met Hunter]

Pete Incaviglia?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Both incorrect and already guessed. Won't stop me from docking ya!
