OT: Sports trivia. Part three.

Doug DeCinces. I really disliked the 1979 Orioles. Mostly just didn't like the way they looked. Smug with bad moustaches. Not a good reason. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that DeCinces is the answer although he played shortstop too
Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera are the top two active players for Major Leagues Hits. Who is third among active players for hits?
Not Encarnacion. I double checked just now. Makes sense because it's his 16th season. He is ninth on the active list
Ah yes, I need to learn to read more carefully. He is #3 behind them in home runs.
Not Trout. He'll get there, but hasn't played long enough. The correct answer is 37 years old. Has played in both leagues recently
No. Markakis is #4 I believe. He recently hit his 500th double. He's a little under 2,500 hits. The #3 player is over 2,500
I've been thinking about it and just can't come up with it. OFC
The only player I can come up with is Robbie Cano but danged it I don't think he's been playing long enough. I saw him as a rookie around 2005 but that's been 15 years. Time flies. OFC

If it's been 25 years since 2005, I'm 77 years old as are you Sky and I don't think we're that old yet.
Let's stay with Cano. Within 2 either way what is the most home runs Cano has hit in one single season? OFC
A famous golfer was once told by a famous baseball player baseball was a harder sport to play. Yep, Ted Williams said baseball was tougher because "you have to hit a MOVING TARGET."
The golfer said nope "you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls like I do." Story can be found long ago in the pages of "Golf Digest." Who was this famous golfer? OFC

Liftee is correct! Liftee is up! I'm not sure why Nelson was not fighting world war II. In 1945, Nelson won 18 times including eleven in a row
You are correct. Pretty good back court. You are up, again!
ged, sorry for my poor interpretation earlier! Please blame it on senility! I meant "great guess" because you were SO CLOSE on Ben Hogan. The golfer was not Hogan, who responded to Ted Williams...
Question is still out there, AND AGAIN FRIENDS my apology. I was just amazed (should not have been because @geddoughton23 is terrific in trivia), he was so close on the legendary name and era!

Correct! Louisville beat UCLA and a young coach Larry Brown 59-54. I remember the game, but don't remember the low score
