Grandpa Roy Column Answers

[grandpa+roy+questions.jpeg]

Hey guys, Drew back here. Looks like you guys struggled on the last trivia question concerning Cody Ross and 3 other 'similar' players. Here was the question again:

What 4 things do these 4 players have in common? The players are Carl Warwick, Cody Ross, Rickey Henderson, and Cleon Jones.

Only one answer was correct, guessed by my good buddy Schuyler, and here is that along with the other three...

1. They All Batted Right and Threw Left
2. They All Played in a World Series Game
3. They All Played as Outfielders
4. They All Played in the National League at some point in their careers

It was much simpler than you guys thought, but as far as we can think of, these are the only 4 players to have this combination of talents. Less than 100 batters all time have this unique combination of batting right and throwing left, as it is much more rare than one may think. The following 3 just seperates these players from all of the others.

If you have another player that fits into this category, let me know, but we are almost positive that these are the only 4 players that fit under each of the 4 categories. Thanks for all of the guesses guys, and stay tuned for the next question!

See Ya!

Grandpa Roy Column

[grandpa+roy+questions.jpeg]

Hey guys, Drew back here. It's been a few months, but we're still kicking here with the Grandpa Roy Column. Grandpa sent me an email a few days ago with an interesting question, and I don't even know the answer haha. Here it is:

What 4 things do these 4 players have in common? The players are Carl Warwick, Cody Ross, Rickey Henderson, and Cleon Jones.

1. The Players Batted Right and Threw Left (Schuyler)
2.
3.
4.

Okay, so if you weren't with us in June, here's how it works. You are allowed to guess one of the 4 things per every 24 hours. You may not answer more than one at a time, just so multiple people can take their turns and guess what they think. Try your hardest to think of this out of your head and not use a Baseball Reference, Wikipedia, or any other informational site, since there are no prizes for this other than you getting to recognize that you are a true baseball fan.

Good luck! See Ya!
