U.P, whatever negative things I had to say about you in the past is now down the drain. You got it!!!!!! How the hell did you come up with it? That was a ball-buster of a question. Nice going.

Research, research, research...

Hey, he was actually on the Dodgers for two years, though.

ill continue this

I played with the Dodgers my entire career. 12 years straight at that. I won a WS as a player and a manager. I'm not known for my hitting, topping .300 only once. Who am I?

You know Hitman when the Dodgers left Brooklyn I went into a near half-century snit and developed a dislike for the Dodgers until I kicked myself in the (Astro) last year and told myself to get over it and move on. So I did, and except if and when they play the Red Sox I have finally returned to me roots, but I have a lot of catching up to do. The question that I answered was a relatively easy one, but I had no clue Scioscia had ever hit 300 whether it was in 12 games or not. The only thing I kept abreast on all those years was the Giants-Dodgers rivalry. That was worth following because of all the @#$% that usually ensues when they play each other. Keep these quizzes going so me Dodger-re-education accelerates ahead even though I have a long way to catching up with you guys.

Well now I feel part of the team.

Who did the Dodgers play and what was the score of the first game at Dodger Stadium?

Here's another one;

I managed and played for the Brooklyn Dodgers. I was a good player, but my fame was from my managerial skills. I first managed the Dodgers, but my fame came from managing the Yankees and the Mets.

Who am I?

Hobbes, true I didn't follow the Dodgers for a long time but I am not that stupid. Please, give me a better challenge than that next time.

#37--Casey Stengel. Well, I'm two for two anyway.

cut me some slack i just came home from 2 midterms
Anyway, you are correct again Fred

Here's anotehr one:

I played in the majors for 19 seasons. I compiled a .264 average during that span. I played for 4 teams and ended my career with the Dodgers. Even though I didn't have any spectatucular stats, I am famous for numorous things. First, regarding to the draft. Second, I made a "great play" during a ballgame but it had nothing to do with the game. Lastly, lets say that Expos fans do not share any love for me.

Rick Monday!

Bingo

I played my entire career 14 years with the Dodgers. My speciality was "defense." It is safe to say that my batting is... below average. I coached many Dodgers minor league teams. I posed nude for a Playgirl magazine. I only played one positon my entire life, and I'm damn good at it too.

I played 2B for the Dodgers from 1994-1996. I am a career .268 hitter and played for 6 different teams. My "claim to fame" with the Dodgers came from a lopsided trade that Dodger fans have been kicking themselves for years over. Who am i?

Steve Yeager?

I was drafted by the Dodgers in 1977. I had two stints with the Blue Crew. The only other team I played for was Minnesota. While I am not known for amazing stats, I will always be remembered for hitting a two-run shot off Dave Stewart and my homerun trot was my craziest ever.

Lol, I was about to do a question on him. Mickey "The Stuntman" Hatcher.

Yep.

I played for 5 teams in my 21 year career. My first 8 years were with the Dodgers. I played 3/4 of my career at first base. Sadly, I will also be remembered for one infamous error on another team. Who am I?

Bill Buckner?

Hitman wrote:Bill Buckner?

you are correct

Question:

I was a ML player for 20 years. It was amazing how I stayed in the majors that long even though i was an average, if not unspactacular player. I was a primarily a shortstop. Spent my last six years with the Dodgers. I am more famous as a manager. I have a dislike for Babe Ruth.

Who am I?
