#TriviaThursday - January 8th, 2015 REDO

Well, we didn't have a winner for last week's #TriviaThursday.  As a refresher, here is the question:

On December 11, 1959, the Yankees sent Hank Bauer, Don Larsen, Norm Siebern, and Marv Throneberry to Kansas City in exchange for Joe DeMaestri, Kent Hadley, and what other player?
The correct answer was: Roger Maris.  Maris would win the MVP award in his second year in The Bronx in his memorable 61 home run season.

Last night, I got the question ready for this week and accidentally submitted it for today instead of Thursday.  You will find it by clicking the 'Read More' button...



Recent Hall of Fame selection John Smoltz had 55 saves in 2002, which at the time was the second most saves in a single season.  Who held the record for most saves in a single season at that time (it has since been broken by Francisco Rodriguez, who had 62 saves in 2008)?
As a reminder, here are the rules:

1) All questions will be baseball questions, sometimes relating directly to MLB Showdown, but not always.
2) While it is impossible to regulate this, please refrain from using an internet search engine to find the answer.  If you know it, congratulations!  If you have a fairly educated guess, give it a shot.  We ask for your honesty in following this guideline.
3) Twitter answers not including the hashtag #TriviaThursday or not sent to me @RokTikiTiki will not be counted.  Those sent to @MLBShowdownGuru do not count either.
4) If no correct guess is made by the following Wednesday at noon ET, there will be no winner for that week.  A hint will be added on Friday, Monday, and Tuesday until there is a correct guess or the Wednesday deadline is reached.

Good luck, we will have a new question on Thursday as well.
