Last Week's Trivia Question:

What do the following pitchers (and *only* the following pitchers) have in common?

Johnny Vandermeer
Allie Reynolds
Virgil Trucks
Nolan Ryan
Jim Abbott
Max Scherzer

This one was a bit tricky.  As the Sesame Street song goes, one of these things is not like the others.  The key to getting the answer was knowing which one was the odd man out and why he was the odd man out. 

Fred was very close when he guessed that they all threw two no-hitters in a season.  All of the above pitchers *did* throw two no-hitters in a season -- except Jim Abbott.  He only threw one in his career. He is, also, the only pitcher on the list with one hand and, the only pitcher with one hand to ever throw a no-hitter.

The correct answer is that each of the above pitchers threw a number of no hitters in a season equal to the number of hands that they have.  No pitchers other than the ones on that list have done so.


Trivia Question of the Sim:

This one should be simpler.   Who holds the record for the most career home runs while never winning a home run title? 

Answer in the #random channel of the Slack thread.  First one with the correct answer gets 100 Commissioner points. 

(Note:  Commissioner points are like points in Whose Line Is It Anyway...)

Next sim:  Wednesday night.
