Hello, everyone and welcome the newest installment of FireBrand trivia sponsored by Muze Clothing.
Today’s trivia question is the 6th question in a contest that will run until May 31st.
Pay attention to FireBrand because we have 4 questions coming up in the next four days and they are going to be all over the place in terms of difficulty. The winner will get a Josh Beckett tshirt from MUZE. Right now the field is wide-open so if you haven’t been commenting, now is the time to capitalize.
2004 was an illustrious season in Red Sox history. An unsuspecting pitcher led the team in pickoffs in that year. Who was it?
HONOR CODE: No search engines.
Previous question answer: Tricky question in hindsight so we have two winners; Adam and Brett will both be awarded a point.
Fangraphs lists Pedro Martinez in 1999 with a WAR of 12.1
Baseball-Reference lists Carl Yazstremski in 1967 with a WAR of 12.2
It’s easy to forget that WAR can be calculated differently.
Muze Clothing was born out of an appreciation for classic movie quotes and has partnered with several Boston-area sports icons to create one-of-a-kind t-shirts. All proceeds are donated to charity, and we encourage you to check out the site and consider giving them your business. Certain legends include Ray Allen, Josh Beckett, Jeremy Roenick, Cam Neely and Micky Ward. The winner receives the Josh Beckett t-shirt free of charge.
