#TriviaThursday - 5/28/15

Happy Thursday everyone!  I want to apologize for missing #TriviaThursday last week.  I didn't have anything prepared before the day started, and my wife and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary that day, and found out that our fourth child (due during MLB playoffs) will be our first boy, so it was a busy day and I never got back to it.

Two weeks ago, we had a first-time winner on our #TriviaThursday board!  @CKiritz was the first to identify Bob Feller (17) and Kerry Wood (20) as the only pitchers in MLB with as many strikeouts in a game as their age at he time.

Here is this week's question:

In 1953, Roy Campanella hit 40 HR to set a record for a single season for a catcher (who was catching in each of the games he hit a homer).  In 1996, what catcher broke that record?
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 - 9
@kris_barnes7 - 6
@Averey25 - 3
@CKiritz - 1
