1. This slick-fielding center fielder won six straight gold gloves in the early eighties.

2. A back-up shortstop, he set a major league record in 1982 (since broken) with 16 steals without once getting caught. They were the last steals of his big-league career.

3. Picked up in a three way deal on April 30, 1951, with the White Sox and the Indians, this slugger led the A. L. in homers and R.B.I.'s at season's end.

4. The A's pulled off a triple crown of sorts in '51 when their starting first sacker won the first of two consecutive batting titles with a .344 average.

5. The only man to play for both the Seattle Mariners and the Seattle Pilots, this hurler did three tours of duty with the A's. He was also the American League E.R.A. champ in 1970.

6. This slugging first sacker was the A's top power hitter of the early twenties. Knee injuries cost him two complete seasons and he was replaced by a fellow by the name of Foxx. But he was a pretty fair hitter himself, banging out 60 homers-twice!-(in 1930 and 1933) in the high minors.

7. A star on the great Yankees teams of the twenties, he started--and lost--Game Five of the '31 World Series against the Cardinals.

8. A starter early in his career with both the Red Sox and the Pirates, he caught Jim Hunter's perfect game on May 8, 1968.

9. Who was the first black to play for the Athletics?

10. In 1984 the S.A.B.R. selected him as the best minor league pitcher of all time. In 1932, he went 12-5 as a rook for the A's. All in all, he won 25 games in the majors and 342 more in the minors, mostly with Sacramento of the old P.C.L.

1. Everybody remembers Bobby Thompson and Ralph Branca and "The Shot Heard Round the World" but not many people remember the winning pitcher of that classic. Do you?

2. The Dodger's ace reliever of the early sixties, he led the Senior Circuit in winning percentage in 1963, going 16-3. Traded to the Twins following the '67 campaign, he led the A.L. in saves in 1969 and 1970.

3. A goat in 1960, a hero in '62, his four hit shutout of the Giants in Game 7 clinched the 1962 World Series for the Yankees.

4. An eleven game winner for the Reds in '75, he gave up Carlton Fisk's dramatic game-winning homer in the Series that fall.

5. On May 30, 1935, this Boston Braves outfielder replaced Babe Ruth in his final big league game. The Babe bowed out after a first-inning at bat in the first game of a twin-bill against the Philadelphia Phillies.

6. Who was the first major leaguer drafted by the U. S. Army prior to the United States entering World War II in 1941?

7. The first little leaguer to make it to the majors, he won 20 games, twice, for the Reds in the early sixties.

8. What former American League Rookie of the Year appeared in The Natural with Robert Redford and Robert Duvall?

9. Who was the Number One catcher for '27 Yankees?

10. I was there for this one so I saw it with my own two eyes. Who served up Hank Aaron's 3,000 hit? A phenom for the Reds in 1970, he broke in by winning 13 of his first 14 decisions, ending the '70 campaign 14-3 after being shelved in August by what would prove to be chronic arm trouble.
