Kwiz Twenty Twenty, Fun Tie
Lou Criger hit one home run in 1905. What was the date?

Mike gets 6 points to vault over three people into second to capture the second place prize!!!!!
What a finish!
(And Pweezil, who had held second, had won prizes on this blog before so I don't feel too bad about him coming close and falling out of the money on the last kwiz.)

Oh, and about the answer--this wasn't my usual kwiz. In this case, I was looking up old articles last night, and saw a boxscore where the Sox lost 15-1. I noticed Criger homered for our only run, so for some reason I checked to see how many he had that season. It was one. I noticed a "HR log" on B-R, and it said one wasn't available (but that HR info for ALL players in history would come out this summer!!!!). Anyway, I didn't go back and check to see how easy this info--when Criger hit his only 1905 HR--was to find, I just threw it out there. Since I found it without looking for it, I wondered if anyone could find it at all. Mike did....
Very interesting; I was wondering how he figured that one out so quickly, given that BBRef and Retrosheet weren't going to be of much help. I thought he might have found some microfiche of old boxscores.
