*** VD 13 Commentary Thread ***

[Ken]

I have a really good trivia question that may no longer be accurate.......will do some research and post if it is still good

Wait, is this like Jeopardy? Are we supposed to guess the question now?

One of my old forum names used to be Antiscioscial. But I knew that he wasn't a HoFer.

This forum has a hall of fame?

ok, not only do you get Jeopardy, you get a VD time machine....take yourself back to Dec 31, 1999, y2k is upon you. Myself, I was hunkered down in a cheap hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma (true story). Then someone said to me, tHe active ballparks with the most total HR in their history are Wrigley Field, Yankee Stadium, and Fenway Park - all with between 9000 and 10,000 HR. One recently retired park had over 11,000 HR hit there ? That is the easy part...what are the 2nd and 3rd place stadiums in all time HR ?

Did Frank Robinson ever play for the Angels? He's my R guess. I have no clue about the W guy either.

You know, I thought about Frank Robinson, and then I checked B-Ref, and I thought I was wrong. I apparently I was correct, but blind.

As I mentioned, his 1973 and 1974 bb cards are just beautiful - apologies to Bene for posting links and not pictures, whatever..

ok, I think you guys hit the wrong dial on the VD time machine...hope you are enjoying wherever you are. Maybe you will read this in 70 years.


I think I worded the original question poorly. The 2nd and 3rd place retired stadiums is what I was looking for.
