Answers
Below
Part of the Proceeds from this link goes for PPC for Doctors and Nurses.
1. Bill “Moose” Skowron. In 39
World Series games, Moose hit .293 with eight home runs..
2. Jumbo Elliott. Jumbo spent eight
seasons with the Giants and six with the Jets.
3. Joe Fields. Joe was drafted in
the 14th round of the 1975 NFL draft. I would say he was
pretty good value for that pick.
4. A. C. Green. Beyond his
accomplishments on the court, Green is noted for saying he finished
his NBA career as a virgin bachelor.
5. Pat LaFontaine. Pat put up great
numbers despite dealing with concussions.
6. Quinn Buckner. Quinn spent his
last season in the NBA with the Pacers.
7. Mitch Williams. For his career,
Mitch averaged 8.6 strikeouts and 7.1 walks per 9 innings.
8. Bill Kilmer. I’m still not sure
why Kilmer started over Sonny Jurgenson.
9. Reuben Sierra. Ruben bounced
around among a lot of teams during the last part of his career. He
finished with 20 years in the majors and 306 career home runs.
10. Norm Cash. I believe hitting in
Tigers Stadium was better for Norm than hitting in the old Comiskey
Park.
