Willie Davis and 1963 Yankee trivia question.

John S — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:46:42 +0000

The just deceased Willie was part of the 1963 Dodgers team that destroyed the Yanks in the Series 4-0. Koufax and Drysdale in their prime were way too much for a Yankee team that was showing its age. Those were the years Maury Wills and Davis manufactured runs with their legs, and the pitching staff didn’t need much help.

(Trivia – what long time Yankee was traded to the Dodgers before the 1963 season and so picked up another WS ring that year - but said he still considered himself a Yankee so he never wore it!)

Trivia Rip Off

Jayson Stark had a great trivia question on Mike & Mike in the Morning this A.M. that I thought I’d pass along.

There are 6 active players who have scored 1,000 runs since the begining of the year 2000 (i.e. 2000 season forward).Â Three of them are current Yankees (Jeter, A-Rod and Damon). Who are the other three?

BTW. Where did the 2000s go?

I’ll publish the answer in the comments tomorrow (or after we get a few guesses).
