Which pitcher currently holds the lead in career strikeouts among active players with 2437 strikeouts?@kris_barnes7 was the first to answer correctly with the response of C.C. Sabathia.
I am currently sitting here watching the movie 'Moneyball' for probably the 15th time, thinking about this week's trivia question. A few years back I was given a book The Sporting News Baseball Trivia Book (© 1983). It gives a bunch of random facts in different ways and is a good read, although much of the information is outdated. I was looking through it earlier and came across an interesting stat, but upon investigating it, I found it to be no longer true. So after investigating, I was able to come up with this week's trivia question:
43 times in Major League history has a player hit 50 or more home runs in a season. Of those, there were 14 times where a player hit 50+ homers and did not lead all of MLB in home runs. Who is the only player to hit 50+ home runs in more than one season but never lead the majors in that category in a single season?
Just a reminder of the rules again:
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.
