Ok, I think this one will be a bit easier...

Who is the only player in MLB history to hit 50 HRs and 50 doubles in the same year?

Loved him from a difference. Edit-Distance. Wow.

Most usually answer Chris Davis for this one because of his fluke seasons. Soriano came close!

Since the turn of the century, only one pitcher has thrown more than 10 complete games in a season.  

Hints:

  • He is no longer active
  • In the year he did it, he threw 11 CG, but never had more than 3 in any other season.
  • Manny Ramirez was his teammate

Pedro Martinez?

While everyone is still trying to get the answer to the trivia question, here is another Complete Game nugget.  Justin Verlander is the active leader with only 26 in his entire career,   While that is understandably short of Cy Young's 749. Verlander does not even break the top 1.000 in history.  It takes 38 to get into the top 1,000.(Note Bartolo Colon has 38, and while not officially retired,he did not play in the majors last season).

I smell a trick question.  Don't think it was an Indian.  The Bosox?  Maybe.  Dodgers?  Maybe.

David Price's team mate.
