Rogers Hornsby Chapter

Breakfast tacos, hot stove talk and a quiz featuring players whose last names begin and end with vowels filled our December chapter meeting while Argentina and France battled for the World Cup on Sunday.

Eleven chapter members gathered at Rudy’s BBQ on 360 to catch up on the latest free agent signings while a large group of soccer fans, mostly rooting for Argentina with a sprinkling of France fans, filled the dining area.

Cy Morong brought a quiz that challenged us to name players with last names that begin and end with vowels. Jerry Miller, pictured below, had his vowels in order to win the contest with 15 points, winning the prize of “Sho-Time: The Inside Story of Shohei Ohtani and the Greatest Baseball Season Ever Played” by Jeff Fletcher. Cy noted before the quiz that the book prize was related to the theme of his quiz.

 Jim Baker was the only other contestant with double figures; he scored 10. Jan Larson and Ira Siegel tied with nine points, and Monte Cely had eight. Take a swing at Cy’s quiz below. The answers follow the questions.

Meanwhile, fans of Argentina had a lot to cheer about when their team took a 2-0 lead in the first half of the championship match. But when France scored two goals within a few minutes of each other late in the second half, many of the Argentina fans were stunned, as were Raeanne Martinez and Bailey Hall (pictured below).

Some of the topics we talked about included Aaron Judge re-signing with the New York Yankees, Carlos Correa joining the San Francisco Giants, the New York Mets adding Justin Verlander and keeping Brandon Nimmo, the Houston Astros signing Jose Abreu and the Texas Rangers signing Jacob deGrom. We considered the risk of some of these long-term contracts, especially with some older players and those with a track record of health issues.

This was the 193rd consecutive month in which the chapter has had a meeting. That’s 16 full years!

Our next meeting will be the 17th Annual Bill Gilbert Winter Meeting on Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023, at Texas State University. Please save the date. More information about the meeting schedule along with directions and parking information will be forthcoming. Hope you can join us!

By Cy Morong

The last name of each answer will start with a vowel and end with a vowel. In some cases, where noted, you will be required to also supply the first name. Y is not a vowel for the purpose of this quiz. So players like Chase Utley and Carl Yastrzemski will not be the answers to any questions.

The Rogers Hornsby Chapter will hold a breakfast meeting in December, specifically on Sunday, December 18 at 9:00 am  at Rudy’s BBQ at 2451 S. Capital of Texas Hwy in Austin.  Free agency and other “hot stove” topics are likely to be on the agenda.

Please send an RSVP email to Jan Larson at jan.a.larson@gmail.com if you plan to attend.

A gift exchange between an Astros and a Phillies fan, a challenging baseball winter meeting-themed quiz and a chapter milestone kept us warm on a chilly, rainy day in Austin on Saturday.

Fourteen chapter members and guests gathered at Serranos in Southwest Austin to enjoy Tex-Mex lunch with a side of hot stove questions crafted by Ira Siegel.

With a maximum score of 49 on the quiz, the best we could muster was 12 points by Cy Morong for first place, 11 points by Jim Baker for second place, and nine points by Ryan Pollack for third. Some of us were grateful to get at least one right to prevent the goose egg.

Take your swing at Siegel’s quiz below. The answers follow the questions.

We were also happy to have the voice of the Round Rock Express, Mike Capps, join us for lunch. He’s one of the newest chapter members and is scheduled to join us again in January for the 17th Annual Bill Gilbert Winter Meeting. He shared stories about his experience as a broadcaster. One observation that stuck out was that 46 players who played in the 2011 World Series between the Texas Rangers and the St. Louis Cardinals had also played at the Dell Diamond earlier in their careers – a remarkable number!

Speaking of numbers, it was the 192nd consecutive month the chapter has meet, marking 16 full years of monthly meetings.

Phillies fan David Curtoys (left in photo below) gave Gilbert Martinez a replica of Dusty Baker’s 2021 AL Championship ring. It was the giveaway at the Phillies-Astros game on Oct. 3, when Philadelphia clinched the last playoff spot. Little did either one of us know that our teams would face each other in the World Series three weeks later!

Martinez, meanwhile, gave Curtoys a Kyle Schwarber Topps Now card documenting the slugger’s first-inning home run off Justin Verlander that, at the time, tied World Series Game 5.

For the record, no fights broke out as Astros and Phillies fans alike shared lunch and gifts with one another!

Speaking of Curtoys, he was the winner of the Hornsby Chapter Postseason Predictatron contest, while Chuck Kaufman was the winner of the Hornsby Chapter Regular Season Predictatron. Both will receive trophies for their amazing prognostication accomplishments from Predictatron impresario Jim Baker at the winter meeting in January.

We scheduled the next month’s meeting for 9 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 18, at Rudy’s BBQ (2451 S. Capital of Texas Highway).

Also, please save Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023, for the winter meeting at Texas State University. More information about the lineup will be forthcoming.

Baseball Winter Meetings Trades Quiz

By Ira Siegel

There are 20 questions. Each answer is worth one point. A perfect score is 49 points. Good luck!

1—Name the 3 players who went to the Reds from the Orioles in 1965 for Frank Robinson.

2 – In 2007, who were the 2 more significant acquisitions (i.e., NOT named Rabelo, de la Cruz, Trahern, or Badenhop) who Miami received from the Tigers in exchange for Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis?

3—Who were the two players sent to (A) Toronto and the two sent to (B) San Diego in their 1990 blockbuster? There were no others involved.

4—Name the two (left side of the) infielders swapped on 12/8/78 going from (A) Cleveland to Texas and (B) Texas to Cleveland. One played MLB for 17 years; the other, 18.

5—From the initial meeting in 1927 through 1945, all were held in NYC or Chicago, except for one. Name the year, the city, and why for one point each.

6—On 12/12/18, the Reds and Nationals exchanged pitchers with the same first name. What was that first name?

7—Name the other 6 players in the 1959 trade of Roger Maris to the Yankees for one point each.

8—Zac Gallen, who is now with Arizona, led the NL in 2022 in WHIP and fewest hits per 9 innings. He was previously traded along with three other players for an outfielder. Name the outfielder they were traded for and the headliner (a pitcher) who was traded along with Gallen, for a point each.

9—In 1941, Brooklyn sent four players to Pittsburgh for a future HOF infielder. He was an All Star from 1934-1942 and in his last year (1942) he led the league in runs scored, steals, and caught stealing. Who is that HOFer?

10—In 1991, the Mariners sent 3 RHPs to SF for 1989 MVP Kevin Mitchell and Mike Remlinger. For a point each, who were the 3 pitchers?

11—In 1980, a HOF pitcher and a catcher were traded by SD to StL. Four days later, StL sent the pitcher to the Brewers along with Pete Vukovich and a different HOFer. Name the HOF pitcher, the catcher, the other HOFer, and the Brewer acquired by the Cardinals. One point each…4 total.

12—In 2016, the White Sox acquired Yoan Moncada and 3 others from an AL team. Who was the one player they traded?

13—In 1950, Cleveland acquired a 36-year-old catcher from the Red Sox for cash. The catcher later managed the then Cincinnati Redlegs, then the then Milwaukee Brewers, and then the then Cleveland Indians. Who was he?

14—For a point each, what was the year and the city for the only Winter Meeting held outside the United States?

15—Also in 1967, the Mets traded RHP Bill Denehy and $100,000 to the Senators. Who did they acquire in the deal?

16—In 1967, the Twins sent 3 players (two were pitchers) to the Dodgers for 2 players (one was a pitcher). It’s a point each for these 5 players. Hint: all played in the 1965 World Series. Hint #2: arguably four of the players were really good players and the fifth one played for lots and lots and lots of teams.

17—For a point each, name the player traded in 1989 from Cleveland to San Diego and the 3 players sent to Cleveland. Hint: don’t waste too much time on one of the 3, even though he was 6th in NL ROY voting in 1987 with Philadelphia. Y’all know the other 3 players! Hint #2: none were pitchers.

18—In 2003, who did the Yankees get for sending Jeff Weaver and two other players to the Dodgers?

The Rogers Hornsby Chapter will hold our November lunch meeting on Saturday, November 19 starting at 12:30 p.m. at Serranos-Mopac at 5030 Highway 290 West, Austin, TX 78735 (near intersection of MoPac & 290).  This meeting will mark 16 full years of regular monthly chapter meetings (192 meetings since December of 2006).  Since we need a headcount in order to reserve tables, please RSVP to Jan Larson at jan.a.larson@gmail.com if you plan to attend.

Hornsby Chapter member, Jim Baker, once again hosted a World Series watch party at which nine members and guests took in not only a lot of food but also Game Two of the 2022 World Series in which the Houston Astros defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-2, to even the Series at one game each.

Tom Wancho, who was unable to attend, supplied a World Series quiz.  After debating one controversial question, it was determined that Jim Baker and Ira Seigel had tied for first place with 19 points each.  No tie breaker was provided so the judges ruled that the contest was a tie.

Information on the November chapter meeting will be forthcoming.

Send your RSVPs to Jim at jimbaker1066@yahoo.com.

Watching Aaron Judge’s at-bats, pondering a challenging quiz about Hall of Fame players traded when they were 25 years old or younger and talking about the playoff race highlighted the September chapter meeting on Saturday.

Seventeen chapter members and guests gathered at Hurricane Grill and Wings in Round Rock to talk about the teams that are in, and the teams that are hanging on. We also talked about the new playoff format and Albert Pujols’ two home run night to become only the fourth player in MLB history to reach the 700 club.

Ryan Pollack, who won a trivia quiz a few months ago, created a quiz in which we had to name Hall of Fame players (not too difficult) who were traded by their age 25 season or earlier (proved to be quite difficult!).

Tom Wancho took top honors on tiebreakers by outlasting Dan Walsh. Both scored 18 out of 39 total points. Jim Baker came in third with 15 points.

Take your turn with this quiz below. The answers follow the questions.

Chapter Commissioner Gilbert Martinez announced that the next chapter meeting would be the World Series Watch Party at Jim Baker’s house in Cedar Park, a long chapter tradition. It will be for World Series Game 2 on Saturday, Oct. 29.

Martinez also asked members to mark their calendars for Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023, when the chapter is planning to host its 17th Annual Bill Gilbert Winter Meeting. Meeting coordinator Jerry Miller is organizing the annual event and will be in touch with the chapter via the email list soon with more information.

During our meeting at Hurricane Grill and Wings, televisions around the restaurants were mostly showing college football games, but one was tuned to the matchup between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. We paused our discussions to watch closely for each Judge at-bat. In fact, ESPN’s broadcast of the Texas Longhorns-Texas Tech Red Raiders football game went to split-screen to show Judge’s at-bats.

Alas for some, Judge’s pursuit to tie Roger Maris with 61 home runs in a season would have to wait at least another day. Instead, while we were at Hurricane Grill, we saw Judge fly out and strike out.

In other news, Monte Cely shared that he’s not planning on attending the Caribbean Series, which is scheduled to be in Venezuela. His 10-year streak of attending the series was snapped in 2021 because of the coronavirus. He said he’s looking forward to the series coming to Miami, Florida, in 2024.

Also, Bailey Hall shared a story about meeting former Mets great Keith Hernandez and his broadcast partner Gary Cohen in the broadcast booth at Citi Field in New York in 2019. Her great-uncle, Mike Bryan, has been the ghost writer for a number of baseball books, working with Cal Ripken Jr. and Kirby Puckett. He’s also the author of “Pure Baseball,” written with Hernandez, which comes highly recommended by Bailey.

The October meeting will be Saturday, Oct. 29 (World Series Game 2 Watch Party). Jim Baker will be in touch with the chapter through the email list.

This was the 190th consecutive month in which the chapter has met, a streak dating to December 2006.

The Rogers Hornsby Chapter will return to the venue of our June lunch meeting on Saturday, September 24 at 12:30 p.m.   We will be meeting at the Hurricane Grill located at 2701 Parker Road in Round Rock.  Parker Road is perpendicular to the westbound service road (W. Louis Henna Blvd) of Toll 45 just west of I-35 at the La Frontera shopping area.  No tolls are required!  Please RSVP to Jan Larson if you plan to attend so we can get an accurate head count.

A quiz about the given names of ballplayers known by their nicknames and discussions of baseball trips and major league players in local minor league games highlighted the August meeting on Saturday.

Twelve chapter members and guests enjoyed breakfast tacos at Rudy’s Bar-B-Q in Southwest Austin. The temperature in the 80s was quite comfortable as compared to our last breakfast meeting at the same location in March, when it was 40 degrees!

Jan Larson posed a multiple-choice quiz challenging us to identify the given names of baseball players widely known by their nicknames. Dan Walsh (pictured above, right) won the competition with 20 out of 25 points (plus three tie-breaker points). Jim Baker (pictured above, left) took second with 20 (plus one tie-breaker point). Gary McIntosh placed third with 18 points (plus two tie-breaker points).

Take a swing at Jan’s quiz below. The answers follow the quiz questions. For their efforts, Dan won a Yogi Berra bobblehead, and Jim won an Ernie Banks bobblehead.

We spent a little time talking about how much baseball has changed over the years and how the game itself – separate from the endless tweaks by MLB – has endured and kept our attention.

 

 

Round Rock Express season ticket holder Andrew York talked about Dallas Keuchel’s seven innings of shutout ball in a 4-0 win over the El Paso Chihuahuas on Friday, Aug. 19. Since being released by the Chicago White Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks earlier this season, the former Cy Young winner and Astros starter has been pitching for the Express for the past month and may get called up to the Texas Rangers soon.

Joining us for his first meeting, Scott Lopez from San Antonio shared a few photos from the 30th anniversary of the premiere of “A League of Their Own” in Rockford, Illinois. He also saw Fernando Tatis Jr. play for the San Antonio Missions at Wolff Municipal Stadium a few weekends ago, just before MLB announced its 80-game suspension of the Padres star for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy.

On our Google group list, Mike Lassman, who’s attending this weekend’s SABR national convention in Baltimore, shared that SABR 51 will be in Chicago. The convention is scheduled for July 5-9, 2023. There’s interest in putting together a Hornsby Chapter group to attend next year.

This was the 189th consecutive month in which the chapter has met, a streak dating to December 2006.

Our next meeting will be at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, at Hurricane Grill and Wings in Round Rock.

Also, save the following dates. We’ll have our October meeting on Saturday, Oct. 29, at Jim Baker’s house in Cedar Park for the World Series Game 2 watch party (teams to be determined).

And we’ll have our 17th Annual Bill Gilbert Winter Meeting on Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023, at Texas State University in San Marcos. More details will be forthcoming in the coming months.
