Larry Doby is correct, joined 3 months after Jackie and proceeded to hold the Home Run title for 2 seasons and making it to the world series with the Cleveland Indians.

indeed that was easy. Now i have to think of a good question. Which active player has the most grand slams in his career, how many does he have and what rank is he on the All-Time List.

Cheesemore · Post by **Cheesemore** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 1:55 pm

ok now for a question- Which pitcher gave up the most career home runs? Extra Credit- how many did he give up? I will be going away Sunday so if you dont get it by then i will give the answer.

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 10:07 pm

I'd say Maddux just because of years played and you just guessed him

I have no idea how many...

Nephilim · Post by **Nephilim** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 12:07 am

i know this ain't cool but since dwight is leaving soon, i'll guess two:

bert blyleven or don sutton

dwightschrute · Post by **dwightschrute** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 5:24 pm
