Ticket Stubs Trivia …
Ticket Stubs Trivia Forum …
I was at The Trop once when Crawford did a straight steal of home vs. Boston. That’s a highlight I’ll never forget. Another highlight I witnessed firsthand … and this one I actually emailed Elias about, but never got a response – Albert Pujols hit a home run vs. Tampa on June 18, 2005, and in the same game Crawford hit a triple. That’s pretty special – to see Pujols go yard and Crawford go for three. The previous year, in 2004, Crawford led the A.L. in triples and Pujols hit 46 home runs, but was second in the N.L. behind the 48 hit by Adrian Beltre.
The reason I emailed Elias is because, being a trivia buff, I wondered if a reigning home run champion and a reigning triples champion had ever homered and tripled in the same game … but I guess since it was a moot point, with Pujols having been second the year before, I never heard back …
Still kind of wish I knew the answer. Anyone out there know?
And anyone out there witness first hand an event that’s a great answer to a trivia question? Do share! Use the link above to join the discussion in Amazon’s baseball forum.

Hey Tucker – I still have my dad’s ticket stub to my first college basketball game. University of Kansas vs. Central Missouri State University. I got some mop up time at the end of the game when KU had already wrapped up the game. The November 30, 1991 game wasn’t the best ever played… but was an interesting night after the game. When we returned to our lockerroom, we found out that our personal items were stolen. Gym bags, jewelry, shoes, and son on. Crazy! But it did happen. They caught the guy that did it and most of our stuff was returned. The best part of this was the fact that current UNC coach Roy Williams was at KU, and apologized over and over. He gave us all KU warmups to keep us warm,durung the cold trip home to CMSU. I still have the warmup top as a memory and the ticket stub… and the box score to prove that I got some time on the court at Allen Fieldhouse. Coach Williams said if I ever need anything, just ask. I’m keeping that promise to use someday
