Another hint: One of these guys was a 2009 All Star, another one was a member of the 1927 Yankees, and of course there was the controversial MVP pick that I mentioned earlier.

OK, the answer to my question:
http://reconditebaseball.blogspot.co...st-common.html
Notable guys on there:
-Dan Quisenberry
- the 2009 All Star, Zack Greinke
-member of the 1927 Yankees, Urban Shocker
-controversial MVP choice, Zoilo Versailles
-Omar Quintanilla
-Ubaldo Jimenez
-Pete Incaviglia
-Ugueth Urbina
-Victor Zambrano
Not the 1962 Mets, they had 2 games where they didn't walk someone.

stumped, so I'll throw out this random trivia I came across.
The Chicago Cubs' Augie Galan set a record in 1935 when he batted 646 times without hitting into a double play. However, he did hit into one triple play.
Nope. Funny thing is, they allowed the 3rd fewest walks that year in the league. And the best ERA.Quote:

There you go
who was second?
Earl Averill & Hoyt Willhelm both hit a HR in their first ever AB. Can you name the other HOFer (yes, hint) that accomplished this feat?
Edit: Ace Parker is a member of both the College Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame.Quote:

Who hit a home run on April 29, 1997 that I caught? Who was the pitcher?
Hint: The pitcher is still active. The hitter is retired and last played for Boston.
