Grandpa Roy Column



Hey guys, Drew back here, with an all new question courtesy of Grandpa Roy, here it is:

Since it is the Little League Baseball time of the year, we figured you may be interested in a little league question. Who was the 1st Little Leaguer ever to play in the Major Leagues?

Answer:

And we have another question too about the Little League World Series

Who was the 1st Little Leaguer to be enshrined into Cooperstown?

Answer:

Please try to name them off the top of your head, trivia is a fun thing in which people are meant to share answers and create a conversation about it (in Grandpa Roy's words). If you cannot do that then it isn't going to be any fun for any of us. Please be aware of that, and anyway, thanks, and see ya!

  1. Rick Wise played in the Little League World Series in the late fifties. Was he the first one to play in the majors?

  2. I think Tom Seaver played in Little League. If not, Nolan Ryan did. Don't know if they were the first HOFers, but that is my guess.

  4. I guess it would have to be someone inducted before Seaver. Johnny Bench, I think I remember reading that he played Legion ball in OK or Catfish. There careers started about the same time as Seaver's and their ages are about right. No clue on the answer for the first question.
