#TriviaThursday - 2/26/15

Who is not excited for baseball to start?  Up here in Minnesota, we haven't had the snow that the eastern states have had (and continue to get), but we have a nice high temperature of 9° with a -5° wind chill today.  I really need to make it to Spring Training one of these years...

With the first games of Spring Training taking place next week, we will be revealing our first set of charts on Monday.  We will reveal a new set of charts every Monday until the last week of September.  And I know that many of you are excited for April 3rd, which will be our first #ShotsFriday of the year.

Last week, @JMoeller5 correctly identified the location of Ebbetts Field as 'Pigtown'.  I got that question directly from the Ken Burns documentary Baseball (thank you Netflix).  I have probably watched that through 3 or 4 times.  This week's question would be very easy to look up online, but remember, I ask that you give it a shot without doing so.

This player is the only player to win the Silver Slugger Award for 10 straight seasons.  Who is he?
 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 must include the hashtag #TriviaThursday and be sent to me @RokTikiTiki in order to be counted.  Those sent to @MLBShowdownGuru do not count.
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.

Current Standings:
@JMoeller5 - 4
@Averey25 - 2
@kris_barnes7 - 1
