このコンテンツについて
This every-day baseball trivia book for 2024 is targeted for baseball fanatics of all ages who enjoy a daily trivia question about hardball. It contains one trivia question for each of the 366-days of the leap year, with answers following. The emphasis is entertainment and accuracy (each question and statement has been fact checked multiple times). Some baseball trivia fans have complained about getting just one trivia question for weekends, annoying for real fans.
This book also lists far more current facts and fun trivia questions for every MLB franchise, including coverage of most of the biggest trades in baseball annals, many listed on the calendar dates when they were completed. Likewise, dates are marked for other important events in the sport’s history, such as perfect games, World Series title-winning games, and so on.
Summer souvenirs of baseball facts are presented every day (again, not lumping Saturdays and Sundays into a single question). So you get 366 multiple-choice baseball trivia questions for the 2024 leap year. This collection of Q&A challenges includes everything from easy-as-apple-pie soft tosses to 99-mph two seamers. Included are the most essential records and record-holding players of the U.S. national pastime, and surprising revelations about the history of the sport. Even casual fans of hardball will delight in these day-to-day records, stats, notes, and other key trivia. This compendium is bursting with the big names, key rivalries, and colorful historic facts of the game.
Modern Masters: Which pitcher threw a no-hitter for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2023? (Michael Lorenzen, against the Washington Nationals on August 9, 2023.) Armed and Dangerous: Who holds the Dodgers' single-season record for most strikeouts? (Sandy Koufax struck out 382 in 1965. ) Plus our World Series Heroes, Team Trivia, and History’s Mystery Men. You’ll also enjoy Blasts from the Past: What’s the most home-runs Reggie Jackson ever smashed in a season? (Mr. October slammed 47 long balls in 1969.) Or you may prefer Team Trivia: What is the MLB record for most team wins in a season? (The mark is 116 wins and is shared by the 1906 Cubs and 2001 Seattle Mariners.) It's all here, including a good dose of truly trivial matters -- at least as viewed by the non-fanatics (fans) among us regarding the nation's best sport! The multiple-choice format allows for one or two ringers to be thrown in along the way just to confuse things, which we think can make for some laughs, but also may make those bar bets and cocktail party disagreements easier to resolve.
Reasons to get this great collection of Baseball Trivia:
* Strike up a conversation with your baseball-fan boss
* Embarrass your uninformed friends
