At the height of Rickrolling, "Never Gonna Give You Up" had 39 million hits on YouTube. To the nearest $1,000, how much money did Rick Astley make in royalties from just those views?

This game is unique among MLB games played in the 21st century. Why?

Three pitchers on the same team with the derivative of Dennis pitched on a losing team.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
None of the position players on one team (Giants) struck out?

Nobody yet. Duff's may well be unique, but I don't think B-R measures that.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Probably not it, but I'd wager that's the only game ever that Damon Minor had 4 hits!

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Every starter for giants had at least two hits?

I'd have to check on those. They're not what I'm looking for.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Clue: It involves one player and one statistic. It might not pop off the page, but it is the only instance since the 1985 season. Between 1913 and 1970, it happened over 400 times.

Nope. Surprisingly, there have been ten 9-inning CG's with 5+ ER since 2000.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Larry Walker appears to have thrown out two guys at first. But I don't think that happened 400 times in the 20th Century.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Yeah, was thinking that, but don't think a pitcher pinch-hitting for a position player would be that unique.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Didn't Hampton pinch-hit for Neagle, another pitcher? That would be even less unique.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Not sure how I would find that on B-R. If you search for PH appearances by someone who is normally a pitcher, you actually get tons of hits, because relievers who come to the plate are treated in the box score as pinch hitters. (And since many of them are double switches, they are pinch hitting for a position player). In other words, not what I'm looking for.brian wrote:The Sybian wrote:Does it involve Mike Hampton pinch hitting?Rex wrote:Clue: It involves one player and one statistic.

Pitcher made six plate appearances?

There's your gold star.
I love how it happened too. Dusty let him hit in the top of the 9th, up by a bazillion.
The all time record (1913-) for PAs by a pitcher is 10, set by the two starting pitchers in this game:

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
It was pretty efficient to throw a complete 5-run game in only 114 pitches.

Florida? I know it was sparsely populated until the early-mid 20th century.
