One more... he's a pre-1900 pitcher, so probably not on a lot of folks' radar

That would be Pud Galvin, the game's original 'juicer'. 8-)

Happy Holidays all!

Another, tougher trivia question.

There is one HOF hitter who recorded his 3000th hit against a HOF pitcher. Name the two players.

You guys are too tough. That one lasted all of 13 minutes.

It's one of my favorites, too.

I was doing the 12/1/2012 NY Times crossword today, and came across an interesting one:

"First or last name in the Baseball Hall of Fame"

I'd give you the number of letters, but that might make it too easy for you :)

Sounds like a trick question.

It's supposed to be the same name?

Either first or last?
