    Sixty-nine years ago on this date -- April 24, 1946 -- eleven new members were inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

     Of these 11 baseball veterans, three early-1900s Chicago Cubs were inducted together.
    The three Cubs -- Joe Tinker (SS), Johnny Evers (2B), and Frank Chance (1B) -- formed the most famous double play (DP) combination in the history of baseball!
    After first appearing in a game together on September 13, 1902, they turned their first double play two days later.

     During the 1906-1910 baseball seasons (known as the Chicago Cubs' Glory Years), they helped the team to win 4 Pennants and 2 World Series.

    In fact, during the 1906 season, the club went 116-36 games for a winning percentage of .763, the highest ever achieved in the Major Leagues.
    While actually playing together until April 1912, Tinker tallied 585 double plays, while Evers recorded 525 DPs.    

    So, for tonight's three Questions, how much do you know about this famous 

Double Play Trio: Tinker to Evers to Chance?

 

    Please choose from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "T", "E", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question listed below.
    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
    OK, Batter up & pleeeeze don't gound out to Tinker or to Evers or to Chance!

 

++ "Baseball's Most Famous Double Play Trio" ++
Question #1: This member of the Trio was nicknamed "The Crab" -- for how he scrambled for ground balls. Later, his nickname was changed to "The Human Crab" because he was combative with nearly everybody he met. Since he had an encyclopedic knowledge of the game, it was rumored that he slept with the Baseball Rulebook under his pillow. What is his name?

        T. Joe Tinker (SS), or
        E. Johnny Evers (2B), or
        C. Frank Chance (1B)
Question #2: Besides being known as a natty dresser, this Trio member also led the league in double plays (DPs) at his position, and became a big hit on vaudeville. In 2006, his great-grandson, Christopher, honored him by having his great-grandfather's 1911 trading card image tattooed on his arm. Who is his great-grandfather?

        T. Joe Tinker (SS), or
        E. Johnny Evers (2B), or
        C. Frank Chance (1B)
Question #3:  Nicknamed the "Peerless Leader" (or "PL") for his hustle and his hard-nosed approach to motivating his Chicago Cubs' teammates, this Trio member was the Club's player-manager between 1905 to 1912. He is also author of The Bride and the Pennant -- A Thrilling Romance for Baseball Fans (published in 1910). Which Baseball Hall of Famer is he?

        T. Joe Tinker (SS), or
        E. Johnny Evers (2B), or
        C. Frank Chance (1B)

    ++ QUOTE OF THE DAY ++  --  Chicago Cubs' Player-Manager Frank Chance once remarked:
             "You do things my way or you meet me after the game (under the stands)."
