It’s day six of the Seven Days of Underdog. I’m asking one trivia question each day to celebrate the release of
Underdog cartoons on DVD. The first person to answer the question correctly in the comments and include a valid E-Mail address wins volume one of the Ultimate Underdog Collection. Today’s question:
When Bucky Dent game up to face Mike Torrez in the seventh inning of the 1978 one game playoff, what was Bucky’s career batting average against Mike (including the previous two at bats in the game)?
Update: Dave answers the question correctly. Dent was 4 for 20 against Torrez, a .200 batting average. Bucky also drew three walks for a .304 OBA. Only one of his hits was for extra bases, a triple, meaning his .300 slugging percentage was lower than his OBA. Look for the final question tomorrow.
.238?
.187
.200 – 4 for 20
I think he was 6 for 25 for a .240
correction 1 for 3 that day vs torrez so should have been 6 for 24 for a .250 average
