I'm looking for pitchers who are the equivalent of Smoltz if five exist.

The Chicago Bears used this name for their defense twice in their history --- during the early 1940's and in the mid-1980's. Who were the team members on each of these squads and what positions did they play?

I know that Nolan Ryan had a 27 year/28 season career. So far that's the longest career I have run across without doing any serious digging. I would like to find out about 5-10 players with the longest MLB careers and the link to search out the information.

This is the message that comes across the screen after about 3-5 minutes:

The last to win it was Yaz in 1967, 40 years ago. Given the drought since the award was won the last time, do you ever think we will see someone win it again, and who could it be? To add further speculation, despite Yaz winning it in 1967, the last true Major League Triple Crown winner (different definition from just Triple Crown) was Mantle in 1956, who led in all three categories in both leagues.

On 8/31/1990, Ken Griffey, Jr. and Ken Griffey, Sr. became the first father and son combo to play for the same team. Two weeks later, they became the first father/son combo to accomplish another first. What did they do?

Who knows why they played the Midsummer Classic two times each summer in 1959, 1960, 1961, and 1962. Here's a hint:: The answer is not in Baseball Almanac or Wikipedia.

I need a little help on this. I'm currently working on an article for one of my publishers regarding baseball players that died during their careers, or careers that were cut short due to terminal illness. So far I have Clemente, Munson, Kyle, and Lidle. Any ideas on a few more?

There were 3 historical events that happened on this day, two involving baseball, one that didn't.

Clements spent 17 years in pro ball from 1884-1900 mostly with the Philadelphia Phillies. He had 77 home runs, (considered a lot for those days), 687 RBI's, and a career .286 average with a .347 OBP and a .421 slugging percentage. Though his numbers for those days were acceptable to above average, what one thing separates him from every other player that held his position?

Using Wikipedia, Baseball Almanac, or Baseball Library gets you disqualified --- use your noggins.

Since there is so much talk about the Gold Glove Awards going on who can ---

#1) Name the players with the most gold gloves at each of the nine positions and how many they have won, --- and ---

#2) Name the All-Time Gold Glove Team that was named at the 2007 All Star game this last summer.
