Not Wagner either. That leaves Rabbit and Bobby Wallace. Only about 50 errors separate any of these four guys from each other, but one of them has way more double plays than the others.

Carew went to the Angels in 1979.

When did Seaver get traded away by the Mets?

If it was 1979, then my guess is Carew and Seaver.

So, last call. Did Bobby Wallace or Rabbit Maranville make more errors as a HOF SS?

Ha ha, I did blow that one trivia question 'cause Pete Rose isn't in the Hall of Fame... Sometimes I just forget... Oops...

Who got the correct answer on the SS errors question?

Plus, you relied on SOM for a trivia question. But the HOFer with the most OF errors is Jesse Burkett, who beat Ty by almost 100 errors.

Oh wow thanks rburgh. I guess I was wrong twice. The first trivia question to start the thread was from the SOM CD-ROM game...... Who made the most errors at SS, I don't think anyone answered that correctly yet...

Sorry for my bogus trivia questions! Doh! :shock:

Yep, which HOF made the most errors at SS is still unanswered.

Also, I was wrong about Seaver...he left the Mets in '77. So the 2nd HOF who changed teams in '79 besides Carew is still unanswered as well.
