No.

Probably about 50...

I just looked up the answer (which I won't reveal since I cheated) but this was a very good guess.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

41? I'm guessing.

41? I'm guessing.

49

Actually the answer to your question is 47 pitchers have done it.

Chuck Finley did it 3 times, so it's been done 49 times.

I stand corrected.That would have been a better question. I will do better tomorrow.

Name the 2 hitters who have homered in all NY parks (Yankee Stadium, Shea, Ebbetts Field, Polo Grounds). Please note I did not see the answer to this AFLAC trivia question.

Im guessing Willie Mays and Duke Snider

How many pitcher's have struck out 4 batters in an inning?

What former White Sox lefty specialist (in recent memory) once struck out 5 guys in a single inning?

My guess is Frank Robinson and Hank Aaron.Aaron would have had the 3 NL parks covered and the Braves beat the Yanks in the 57 WS so I'd like to think Aaron homered in NY in that series.Robinson was in the NL from 56-65 and the AL once the Reds thought Robinson was too old and sent him to Baltimore (where he won the triple crown/mvp) so I'd think he'd have all four covered as well.

Duke Snider and Gil Hodges...I think

I am going to guess Frank Robinson and Willie Mays. Did Duke ever play in Shea or did he retire before the park opened?

I forgot the Mets played at the Polo grounds in 62 and 63Hodges and Snider retired prior to Shea.Frank Robinson and Hank Aaron might be correctETA: Willie Mays never homered at Yankee Stadium

 

[JohnDoe]

Hank Aaron did homer at Yankee stadium in game 6 of the 57 World Series, so I would guess that he is one of the two players.

He homered as a Brewer a couple of times there too

Then it would appear that our answer is, based on regular season HRs, Frank Robinson and Hank Aaron. Doing some research on this led to another name, if we can count World Series HRs, Ken Boyer.

HR in game 4 of 64 series

played in 57 and hit HR @ both NY parks in the NL

Hit a HR @ Shea as a member of the Mets in 66 (maybe in 64 or 65, but I got lazy when I read that he was traded to the Mets in October 65).

Well done.

Maybe Hank Aaron is not the answer for regular season. I forgot that in 1974 and 1975 the Yankees played their home games at Shea Link. Aaron played in the AL in 75 and 76. Based on information @ retrosheet he did not hit a home run @ NY in 76, but he did hit 1 in 75 (playing @ Shea).
