The Cardinals. The Cubs. The White Sox. The Royals. Everyone has their favorite. Around here, at least for Missouri baseball fans, it never has been better than in 1985 when the Cardinals met the Royals in the World Series.

It gave us the last question in regional week for Spring Training Trivia.

Here was the question:

The 1985 World Series has the distinction of being the first to have all of its game played under a certain circumstance. What was it?

Here’s the answer:

Known as the “I-70 Series” or the “Show-Me Series,” the 1985 World Series was unique because it was the first World Series in which all the games were played at night. Also, it was the last World Series to date in which the designated hitter was not used in the American League park.

The series is more widely remembered for the Royals winning in seven games and Don Denkinger’s missed call at first base, but it has its place in history for being unique.

Now, it’s time for a week of questions devoted to local ties. We’re going to kick it off with an athlete who played more than just baseball.

Here’s the question:

Which Hall of Fame baseball player played on one of the teams the Quincy High School boys basketball team beat on its way to the 1934 state championship?

Check back here on Monday for the answer.

Thanks for playing along.

Three months ago, with the Western Big Six Conference boys basketball season set to tip off, Rock Island and Quincy High School split the first-place votes in a poll of media members who regularly cover the Western Big Six Conference.

That seems appropriate now.

The Blue Devils’ 71-68 victory at East Moline on Friday night gave the Blue Devils a share of the WB6 title with the Rocks, who Quincy beat last week to force the tie. Alex Miklius’ 3-pointer with three seconds to play highlighted the Blue Devils’ victory and overshadowed another sterling performance by Zach Forbes.

Forbes finished with 26 points and strengthened his case to be considered the league MVP. Rock Island’s Chasson Randle, Galesburg’s Victor Davis and Moline’s Thomas Lindauer fill out the ballot.

So who would you pick?

My vote goes to Forbes.

Now, you probably expected that, but let me make my case for that vote.

Forbes led the league in scoring, averaging 19.7 points per game — that’s nearly four points per game more than anyone else. He made 63 free throws in league play. No other player even attempted that many. And he was at his best when the Blue Devils needed it the most.

He scored 20 points in the victory over Rock Island, burying a 3-pointer with Randle defending to give Quincy the lead for good in the fourth quarter. His 26-point effort against East Moline punctuated it.

As for the other candidates, Randle is regarded as the league’s best prospect and you won’t get an argument if you say he is the most naturally gifted, but MVP awards are earned by delivering when it matters most. In Rock Island’s loss at Quincy, he got into foul trouble and finished with just nine points. In two head-to-head meetings with Forbes, Randle was outscored 45-24.

In fact, Jordan Hathorn played a bigger role than Randle (although Randle was very good in his own right) when the Rocks beat the Blue Devils at Rocky Fieldhouse. (There will be more on Hathorn later.)

Davis garners consideration for being the only player in the league to average a double-double with 15.7 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. However, the Silver Streaks were 3-7 in league play. It’s hard to give MVP plaudits when the team finishes fifth in a six-team league.

Lindauer helped the Maroons stay in the thick of things when they lost senior captain Mikel Wismer for the second half of the WB6 season with a fractured cheekbone. He led the league in 3-point shooting, making 25, and was second in the league in scoring at 15.8 points.

He’d be No. 2 on my ballot.

Here are some other players who deserve mention for their efforts in a highly competitive WB6 race:

The Toughman Award

Can it go to anyone other than Wismer? The Moline forward played in just six WB6 games, averaging 6.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. But numbers don’t do him justice. He was Moline’s most physical presence and showed more grit and determination than any player in the league.

He may have earned the toughman distinction before last Friday night, but coming back when doctors said he’d be lost for the season and helping Moline end the regular season with a victory sealed the deal.

Wismer is the type of player every coach loves to have on his team.

The Unsung Award

Forbes and Randle grabbed the headlines for their respective teams in the WB6 title chase, but it was Rocky guard Jordan Hathorn who had a major impact and often got overlooked.

Hathorn’s performance against Quincy at Rock Island — he scored 17 points and his five 3-pointers, including the go-ahead bucket in the final minute — was spectacular. It was so good that Quincy tried to take him completely out of the works when the teams met at Blue Devil Gym. Still, he finished with 10 points and hit a couple of big shots in the fourth quarter to keep the Rocks alive.

Hathorn averaged 8.4 points per game in league play and led the team with 15 3-pointers, but he deserves more credit for the Rocks’ share of the title than he gets.

The Beggin’ For More Award

This honor is going to be shared by a couple of players I’m anxious to see how they develop because the tantilizing way they helped their teams this season makes me wonder just how good they will be in the future.

Moline sophomore Tim Wages played in just five WB6 games, but he did enough in that time to grab everyone’s attention. He averaged seven points and nearly three rebounds per game, but it was the fearless way he attacked the basket and how much confidence he had shooting the ball that gave you an inkling he’s going to be a key contributor.

Meanwhile, Rock Island’s Denzel McCauley has the biggest upside — and biggest frame — of all the talented sophomores in the league. McCauley could help the Rocks not only win the WB6 next season, but make them a state tournament contender.

The No More Nightmares Award

Who is the one player most WB6 coaches would tell you is tough to match up against and they’ll be glad they don’t have to think about defending him next year?

I’m guessing it would be Victor Davis.

The Silver Streaks’ 6-foo-t5 power foward is a mismatch waiting to happen. He was arguably the strongest player in the conference and the most dominant rebounder, but he did more than just control the block. He extended his game, stepping out to hit six 3-pointers in league play and getting more comfortable handling the ball.

The ruined many defensive gameplans.

I’m anxious to see where Davis winds up playing college basketball. Quincy University has expressed interest in him, which not only would be a good fit, but I’d be excited to watch his development.

The All-WB6 Team

The media members who voted on the preseason poll picked Forbes, Randle, Davis, Lindauer and Alleman’s Keelan Prince as the all-conference team. I would stick with the first four, but I would put East Moline’s Nic Hoepfner in as the fifth member of the team. Some might argue the Panthers’ Shaq Lowery deserves it over Hoepfner, but the East Moline forward averaged 13.2 points and 8.5 rebounds — both tops on the team — and played big when the Panthers needed him to.

My Favorite Five

The All-WB6 selections are based on numbers and performances, but what if you could pick a team based solely on how kids play the game? Who would your five be? The more I thought about, the more I found myself thinking of guys who are superstars but play the game with passion and effort.

So my five would be Quincy forward Nick Doellman, Galesburg guard Dalton Davis, Rock Island guard DeShawn Banks, East Moline guard Chase Pavelonius and Moline forward Mikel Wismer. This team might not have a lot of scoring punch, but opponents would have to work extremely hard to get good looks at the basket.

Come Sunday, Spring Training Trivia is going local.

Every question for the next week will involve either a local product or someone connected to Quincy sports in some way.

Before we get there, we need to wrap up a week of questions about our regional major league teams by revisiting the 1985 World Series.

First, we have to give you the answer to Friday’s trivia.

Here was the question:

George Brett hit his famous pine-tar home run against the Yankees in Yankee Stadium in 1983. Who was the pitcher that served up the home run?

Here is the answer:

The replays of Brett sprinting out of the Royals dugout to argue with the home plate umpire are priceless. And most people know that it was Yankees manager Billy Martin who brought the amount of pine tar on Brett’s bat into question.

Few remember who served up the gopher ball.

It was Hall of Fame reliever Goose Gossage.

On July 24, 1983, the Royals trailed the Yankees 4-3 in the top of the ninth with two out and U.L. Washington on first base. Brett, the Hall of Fame third baseman, roped a home run to right field at Yankee Stadium off Gossage for a 5-4 lead.

As Brett crossed home plate and headed to the dugout, Martin went to home plate umpire Tim McClelland and wanted the bat examined. The umpiring crew inspected the bat, measuring the amount of pine tar on the handle against the 17-inch width of the plate.

According to the baseball rule book, “a bat may not be covered by such a substance more than 18 inches from the tip of the handle.”

The pine tar on Brett’s bat was more than 18 inches, so McClelland pointed to Brett in the dugout and signaled he was out, nullifying the home run and ending the game. Brett had to be restrained by Royals manager Dick Howser and the umpiring crew.

After mutliple appeals, American League president Lee MacPhail ruled Brett’s home run would stand and the game would be finished. So, 25 days later, the teams played out the remainder of the ninth inning with Royals closer Dan Quisenberry retiring the Yankees in order to produce the victory.

Gossage was saddled with the loss.

That leaves just one more question for regional week.

Here is the question:

The 1985 World Series has the distinction of being the first to have all of its game played under a certain circumstance. What was it?

Look here Sunday for the answer and the first of a week’s worth of questions with local ties.

Thanks for playing.

Tough choice to make

John Keating and his wife, Deanne, had to make a choice Friday.

Go to Macomb and watch the Quincy Notre Dame boys basketball and their son, Quenton, play for a regional championship. Or go to Bloomington and watch the QND girls basketball team and their daughter, Quentessa, play in the Class 2A state semifinals.

It wasn’t easy, but the Keatings went to Macomb where the Raiders won 74-64 to advance to next week’s Petersburg Porta Sectional.

Since Quenton is a senior and it conceivably could have been his last game, the Keatings didn’t want to miss it. But they were in Bloomington in spirit as the Lady Raiders beat Nashville 39-33 and will face Bloomington Central Catholic in the state championship game at 8:15 p.m. Saturday.

John wore a Lady Raiders t-shirt and had his earpiece in so he could listen to not only the broadcast of the boys game but get updates from Bloomington. Luckily, only two minutes of the girls game had been played when the boys game ended.

Although the Keatings made the trip to Macomb, most QND fans were Bloomington-bound. QND had a cheering section of about 50 or so strong, mostly parents and family members and no students. They were all at the girls game, which most everyone expected.

Reaching a milestone

QND senior forward Brennan Rakers went into Wednesday’s regional semifinal against West Hancock needing just four points to reach 600 for his career. He walked out of The Hangar having scored just three points and leaving himself just short of the personal milestone.

He didn’t need to worry about reaching the mark.

Rakers scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds against Illini West to join the 600-point club.

Finding his rhythm

Anthony Bruns had yet to top 20 points in a game, setting a career high with 19 points in a victory over Rock Island Alleman earlier this season. Friday night, he set the standard a little higher.

Bruns scored a career-high 24 points, marking the fifth straight game he’s been in double figures.

“He was terrific. He was very good and we needed him to be,” QND coach Scott Douglas said. “He’s played like that for a stretch now where he’s really been aggressive and starting to become the player we thought he was going to be.”

Finishing strong

First-year Illini West coach John Hughs inherited a talented team that never met its potential during last year’s 12-13 campaign.

So to finish 19-9 and reach the regional championship for the first time as Illini West, Hughs realized how much has been accomplished.

“I went in the locker room and thanked each and every one of the kids,” Hughs said. “That kind of epitomized our season. There was no quit. I thought we fought Quincy Notre Dame, which is a heck of a basketball team, to the end. That’s all you can ask out of your kids.”

Rookies have their day. At least some of them. The White Sox had one who was the subject of Spring Training Trivia.

Here was the question:

There have been 21 rookie pitchers throw no-hitters in major league history. Two did it in their first major league start — Bumpus Jones of the Cincinnati Reds did it in 1892 and Bobo Holloman of the St. Louis Browns did it in 1953. Two others did it in their second career start, including one who did it for the White Sox.

Who was it?

Here’s the answer:

Wilson Alvarez’s only big league start, prior to the 1991 season, came with the Rangers in 1989 when he allowed two walks, a single and two home runs before being pulled without ever retiring a batter. At that point, he had an ERA of infinity.

He was acquired by the White Sox and emerged as a starter late in 1991, delivering the most memorable moment of his career in his very first game for Chicago. Facing the Orioles at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore on Aug. 11.

Alvarez walked five and struck out seven, but he didn’t allow a hit in the 7-0 victory.

Alvarez was the first pitcher Venezuela and the first White Sox left-hander to toss a no-hitter. The southpaw ended up pitching for 13 seasons for the Rangers, White Sox, Giants, Devil Rays and Dodgers, finishing with a 102-92 record and 3.96 career ERA.

Now, to wrap up a week of trivia about our regional teams, we have to take a trip to Kansas City.

Here’s the question:

George Brett hit his famous pine-tar home run against the Yankees in Yankee Stadium in 1983. Who was the pitcher that served up the home run?

Check back here on Saturday for the answer.

Thanks for playing along.

Cubs fans have their favorites.

Ron Santo is one of them. It appears the answer to yesterday’s Spring Training Trivia is, too.

Here was the question:

In December 1973, when the Cubs traded Ron Santo to the White Sox, they got four players in return — catcher Steve Swisher and three young pitchers. Name the pitcher involved in the trade who later became one of Santo’s broadcast partners.

And the answer:

Steve Stone began broadcasting Cubs games in 1983 as a color commentator for WGN, teaming with Hall of Fame announcer Harry Caray for 15 seasons. He was in the Cubs booth until 2000, when he walked away for health reasons. He returned in 2003 and ’04, but resigned after the 2004 season despite being offered a contract extension.

During the 2004 season, several Cubs players felt he was being overly critical of the team and confronted Stone and announcer Chip Caray on several occassions. The most notable confrontation involved Kent Mercker, the reliever who called the booth from the bullpen to complain about comments. Mercker also confronted Stone in a hotel lobby.

Stone pitched for the Cubs for three seasons and spent 11 seasons in the big leagues, pitching for the Giants, White Sox, Cubs and Orioles. The highlight of his career came in 1980 when he went 25-7 for the Orioles and won the AL Cy Young Award.

Stone currently does color commentary for the White Sox television broadcasts.

Since Stone is now working for the White Sox, it seems only fitting that he leads us into a White Sox trivia questions.

Here is today’s question:

There have been 21 rookie pitchers throw no-hitters in major league history. Two did it in their first major league start — Bumpus Jones of the Cincinnati Reds did it in 1892 and Bobo Holloman of the St. Louis Browns did it in 1953. Two others did it in their second career start, including one who did it for the White Sox.

Who was it?

Look here Thursday for the answer and a question about the Kansas City Royals.

Thanks for playing.

This week is all about getting ready to cheer on your favorite team.

Monday was a Cardinal day. Today will be a Cubbie day. White Sox and Royals fans, your days are coming.

Before we get to today’s question about the Cubs, let’s unveil the answer to Monday’s trivia question for all the Cardinals fans.

Here was the question:

Which Cardinals pitcher holds the franchise record for victories in a season?

And the answer:

In 1934, Dizzy Dean fashioned a 30-7 record with a 2.66 earned run average. He had 24 complete games with seven shutouts and seven saves. It occurred in the middle of a stretch of four straigh seasons in which he won 20 or more games.

He is the last National League pitcher to win 30 games.

Over a 12-season career, Dean went 150-83 with a 3.02 ERA. In seven seasons with the Cardinals, he won 134 games and fashioned a 2.99 ERA. Dean helped the Gashouse Gang win the World Series in 1934 when he went 2-1 against the Detroit Tigers. His performance included a six-hit shutout in Game 7.

He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1953.

Now, for a question involving one of Cubs fans’ most beloved players.

Here goes:

In December 1973, when the Cubs traded Ron Santo to the White Sox, they got four players in return — catcher Steve Swisher and three young pitchers. Name the pitcher involved in the trade who later became one of Santo’s broadcast partners.

The way the snow and sleet came down Sunday, it was easy to dream about the Florida sun and baseball being played every day.

Unfortunately, we had to wake up this morning to shovel driveways and clean ice and snow off our vehicles to get to work. Thankfully, we still have the visions of home runs dancing in our heads.

Sunday was a doubleheader day. Two trivia questions for the price of one.

Here were the questions:

Which Hall of Famer known for his home run prowess claimed he modeled his hitting technique after Shoeless Joe Jackson’s approach?

And the lead character dubbed “Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, Mo.” comes from which musical play?

Here are the answers:

Babe Ruth, the most legendary figure in the game’s history, admitted to copying Shoeless Joe’s swing because it seemed so pure. Ruth made it work to the tune of 714 career home runs and a .342 career batting average.

The play “Damn Yankees” began a run on Broadway in 1955 and ran for 1,019 performances. The story is about Joe Boyd, a long-suffering, middle-aged fan of the Washington Senators baseball team, who agrees to sell his soul to the devil to become the young slugger Joe Hardy, dubbed “Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, Mo.”

Now, as promised, this week will feature questions directly related to our four regional teams. Today, the Cardinals take their turn at bat.

Here’s the question:

Which Cardinals pitcher holds the franchise record for victories in a season?

Find the answers here on Tuesday. And as always, chime in with your answers in the comments section below or e-mail them to me at mschuckman@whig.com.

Thanks for playing along.

Spring training gets more intense and more interesting this week with position players scheduled to join pitchers and catchers at the respective training sites.

So the trivia will get a little more interesting as well. Remember, I promised questions geared toward fans of our four regional teams. So Monday you can expect something related to the St. Louis Cardinals. Tuesday, it will be the Cubs. Wednesday, White Sox take a turn. Thursday, it’s the Royals.

Today, though, we’re giving you a double-dipper.

First you need the answer to Saturday’s question.

Here was the question:

Who holds the record for highest batting average by a rookie?

And the answer:

In 1910, after two less than stellar seasons with the Philadelphia Athletics in which he spent most of his time in the minors, Shoeless Joe Jackson was traded to the Cleveland Naps. That season, he won the batting title in the Southern Association and was called up for just 20 games with the Naps.

In 1911, his first full season in the big leagues, Jackson hit .408 and finished second in the batting race to Ty Cobb. Jackson’s average still stands as the highest by a rookie.

Jackson played until the end of the 1920 season when he and seven other members of the Chicago White Sox were banned from baseball by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis for their role in fixing the 1919 World Series. Baseball fans know it as the “Black Sox Scandal.”

Jackson’s career average of .358 is the third highest in major league history.

He is the one player in all of baseball that I am most curious about. Had he not been banned from the game, could he have fashioned a career that would have left everyone saying he was the greatest hitter ever? We’ll never know.

But since Jackson is on the brain, we’ll ask a couple more questions referencing him.

It’s the Sunday doubleheader and here are the questions:

Which Hall of Famer known for his home run prowess claimed he modeled his hitting technique after Jackson’s approach?

And the lead character dubbed “Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, Mo.” comes from which musical play?

Senior celebration

Jimmy Behrens first start of his Quincy High School basketball career is one he’ll remember.

The 6-foot-4 forward was one of seven seniors honored before the Blue Devils’ 74-63 victory Saturday night over Rock Falls at Blue Devil Gym, and after being introduced among the five starters, he gave Quincy a spirited effort in the post.

He had three rebounds, an assist and a steal in the first quarter, while turning an offensive rebound into an assist when he fed Isaiah Johnson for a layin for the Blue Devils’ first basket.

Behrens wasn’t the only senior to shine on Senior Night.

Robert Gay found himself back in the starting lineup and finished with four points and three rebounds, including a putback in the fourth quarter that pushed the lead to 63-48.

Five of the seven seniors pulled down three rebounds apiece and all seven combined for 68 points, 22 rebounds and 13 assists. Zach Forbes finished with 27 points, hitting 3 of 5 3-pointers, while Alex VonderHaar had 20 points, three rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in the most complete game of anyone.

Bragging rights

VonderHaar talked earlier in the week about how beating Rock Island and East Moline in the final two weeks of the regular season would not only give the Blue Devils a share of the Western Big Six Conference title, but he’d gain bragging rights at home.

Neither of VonderHaar’s two older brothers — Cory and Andrew — were a part of a WB6 champion as seniors. In fact, Andrew was never part of a title team, while Cory was a sophomore when QHS won the league in 1994-95.

However, VonderHaar won’t have to wait until next Friday’s game at East Moline to earn bragging rights.

He got those Saturday night.

Quincy’s perfect 13-0 mark at home was something neither older brother nor his older sister, Courtney, who was a 1,000-point scorer for the QHS girls basketball team, can say they were a part of.

After Saturday night’s game, VonderHaar made sure to point out he earned his chance to brag.

Nifty passing

The highlight of Quincy’s unselfish play — the Blue Devils had 15 assists spread among six players — came early in the second quarter when Isaiah Johnson and Alex Miklius attacked the lane on successive possessions.

Both drew the attention of the Rock Falls defense and delivered nifty passes to Michael Davis for uncontested layins.

They were the two prettiest passes of the night.

The sophomore game

The QHS sophomore team, which has won nine of its last 11 games, dropped a 61-55 decision to Rock Falls. The sophomores are now 15-8.
