Dude Trivia While We Are Waiting

[revdrdawg]

Trying to figure out which MLB Hall of Famers have played on Dudy Noble Field. I've got two (with another who played before DNF, but did play against Dudy Noble).

Who do you have?

[Quaoarsking]

Frank Thomas must be one of them.

Will Clark?

Barry Larkin was on the 1985 Michigan team that played in the Regional round in Starkville. I did not know that one off the top of my head.

Frank is one. Will (and Rafael) should be. Number 2 was not SEC and in a regional.

I’m assuming Will retired too soon to get enough stats? We all know why Raffy will never make it.

[revdrdawg]

Right. Big Hurt and Larkin. I haven't found any others. Joe Sewell played for Bama in the teens and 1920. This was prior to Dudy Noble Field, but Dudy Noble was coaching before Sewell graduated and went to the pros.

[Quaoarsking]

I looked through the Regionals we've hosted and didn't find anyone else. Possible that I missed someone though.

I didn't find any other SEC players. I didn't look for anyone we may have played in a non-conference game, so it's possible someone else is out there.

Will Clark is a HOF talent no doubt. Injuries cut too many seasons short though.

[revdrdawg]

Thanks for playing. I can't find any others, but will keep scanning the non-conference possibilities.

[Homedawg]

It's one I think. Change that to first rounders and you will run out of space on the thread.

Did Albert (Joey) Bell not make the HOF?

Did Albert (Joey) Bell not make the HOF?

Never even crossed the 10% plateau and deservedly so.
