Grandpa Roy Column!! The Return!

Hey guys, Drew back here. It sure has been a while, but it is finally time for some more Grandpa Roy Trivia! So without any further motion, here is your question of the day...

Two weeks ago today, Justin Verlander threw his 2nd no hitter of his career, becoming the 228th pitcher in the modern era to do so. However, while over 40 players have thrown multiple no hitters, only 4 have thrown 2 in the same regular season. Who were these 4 players, and what teams did they throw their no hitters for?

1: Johnny Vander Meer, Cincinatti Reds (guessed by Joe)
2: Virgil Trucks, Detroit Tigers (guessed by Baseball Nut)
3: Nolan Ryan, California Angels (guessed by Ryan G.)
4: Allie Reynolds, New York Yankees (guessed by Baseball Nut)

Remember the rules, please guess only one person for every 24 hours, and have fun!

See Ya!

Grandpa Roy Column Results

Hey guys, Drew back here. I am having my induction into the NJHS tonight, so that will be awesome, but just wanted to put the results up and have a little discussion about the previous Grandpa Roy question. I posted it a few days ago and I did make a minor mistake, saying team in general not current team. It's all good though, and here is the question just to refresh your memory:

Ubaldo Jimenez threw the 1st no hitter in the Colorado Rockies' 18 year history yesterday against the Atlanta Braves. Which are the 4 teams who have never thrown a no hitter in team history?

Your correct answers were-

1: New York Mets
2: Tampa Bay Rays
3: San Diego Padres
4: Washington Nationals

So, on Sports Center and various other blogs, we've heard constantly that the Mets, Rays, and Padres are the only 3 teams to not throw a no hitter. But, keep in mind that although the roster stayed the same, all team records from the Montreal Expos were thrown out after the Nats were created. So, some may consider them a new team and some may not. So, the 4 teams that haven't thrown a no hitter yet are the Mets, Rays, Padres, and Nationals.

I hope that all makes sense, and until next time, See Ya!

Grandpa Roy Column Returns!

Hey everyone, I know this is pretty inexcusable but it has now been over 2 months without a question. Well, since baseball has started and the season has already provided a lot of thrills, Grandpa Roy got a question to me today and I figured lets get it up now. It's a pretty easy one, because it was all over blogs and TV today, but we figured we'll start you all off with a pretty simple one. Yesterday was crazy in the baseball world, with a 20 inning game and a no-hitter, baseball fans are seeing some exciting moments. On that note, here is your question:

Ubaldo Jimenez threw the 1st no hitter in the Colorado Rockies' 18 year history yesterday against the Atlanta Braves. Which are the 4 teams who have never thrown a no hitter in team history?

1: New York Mets
2: Tampa Bay Rays
3: San Diego Padres
4: Washington Nationals

Hint: TEAM history

UPDATE: Sorry, I didn't say current team but that's what I meant. So, the Seattle Pilots may be right, but I apologize for that. A final post will be up tomorrow or Wednesday!

So, that is the big question, now since I've gained some viewers since the last trivia post, here are the rules. You can only guess one answer per 24 hours. Only 1 of the 4 teams, not all 4 in one comment. Be fair and try not to look it up, this is a game, and there is no prize, so have fun with it and if you don't know off hand then take a guess!

Good luck!
