Well, it has been a busy last two months. I started a new job, so I have been busy and not remembering #TriviaThursday until after it has come and gone. Plus, my free time has been working....a second job. Throw in a pregnant wife and three children, and I haven't had much time for anything. But I want to get #TriviaThursday going again, so here we go....
Last time we had a #TriviaThursday question (about two months ago....), the question revolved around #MLBShowdown cards and the Colorado Rockies:
The first regular season game for the Colorado Rockies was April 5th, 1993. That game featured 9 players who had a 2000 and/or 2001 MLB Showdown card. Of those 9, 3 had a foil card. Name the three.
The correct answer was: Andres Galarraga (00 PR), Tony Fernandez (00), and Jeff Kent (01). That correct answer by @kris_barnes7 was his 8th of the year, pulling him within 2 of the leader @JMoeller5.
This week's question revolves around career numbers. With Ichiro moving into second place on the all-time professional hits list this week (he still ranks 38th in MLB hits), I wanted to ask a question that relates to him:
Ichiro is currently the active leader in singles in his career (11th place all-time). Alex Rodriguez is second on the active players list (85th all-time). Which active player has the most career singles but does not have a 2000 or 2001 MLB Showdown card?
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 - 10@kris_barnes7 - 8@Averey25 - 3@CKiritz - 1@TweeterLeGrand - 1
