 A previous trivia question asked what Massachusetts-born
pitcher in the modern era (post 1900) has amassed the most career victories.
The answer to this question become much easier as the 2007 season progressed
and Tom Glavine, born in Concord and raised in Billerica, marched inexorably to
his 300th career victory. Congratulations to Janet W. of Plymouth
for correctly identifying Tom Glavine.
Our current trivia challenge sought the identity of the only New England native
who was selected as the first overall choice in the baseball’s amateur entry
draft. Bill Almon, also the last major leaguer from Brown University, was
selected number one overall by the San Diego Padres in the 1974 amateur draft.
He went on to a 15-year career in the majors with the Padres, Expos, Mets,
Pirates, Phillies, White Sox and A’s. Bill was born in Providence and attended
high school in Warwick before going on to Brown and then the big league.
Congratulations to Cheryl L of Kingston for her winning a River Eels prize
extravaganza for her correct answer.
