Trivia: No cheating, how old is Bobby Witt currently...

and what year did he retire?

Bonus question: How many strikeouts did he have in his career high year in 1990?

Witt

Retired in ’94?
Age 45?
Strikeouts… somewhere in the 80-90 range?

by oc on Sep 26, 2008 10:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

Well

He’s born in 1964, I believe, which would make him 43 or 44.

He retired in…2004.

And he had 251 Ks in his career high year.

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 26, 2008 11:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

Age is correct at 44...

Retirement and K’s are off a decent bit.

ANSWERS:

Born: April 10, 1964 (Age 44)
Retired after 2001 season having played for Texas Rangers, Oakland Athletics, Florida Marlins, St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Cleveland Indians, and finally the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Strikeouts: 221 Ks in his career season of 1990 where he had a 3.36 ERA and 17-10 record.

By the way...

I was surprised that he was still only 44, figured he was late 40s. Also thought he’d retired late 90s, and had forgotten what a beast he was early in his career since I was 5-6 years old at the time he posted that 1990 season.

there’s a possibility I may be able to do the Blackburn-Man U game at the Londoner next weekend. My mother and little brother are in town, but we may all head up there since she’s wanting to go to a store over in Dallas that morning. Do you if Londoner allows underage in? He’s still only 20, and wasn’t sure if they made you be 21 or not.

I'm hoping for some type of result...

since we’ve seemed to do well at St. James Park the last few years, 4 years straight we’ve taken the fixture there. I think overall I’d be happy with 1 point, especially with Robinson out 2 weeks now, although Brown did keep the clean sheet vs Everton Wednesday.

I’ve got the game recording since I’ll be at the TCU game tomorrow. Probably watch it Sunday morning since I’ll easily be able to avoid the score Saturday.

say hank actually is healthy and actually good next year. Say back to 30 HR 110 rbi with a good average.

what kind of contract does he get?

can he play 3rd?

If not he got traded during the deadline…
