I am sure that I am missing something, but I would just like to know why my Fisk answer was incorrect.

Some more worth 10 each:

1) Who holds the Yankees season record for times caught stealing?
2) What was the name of the first major league team based in Kansas City?
3) Who holds the Atlanta Braves rookie record for home runs?
4) Who is the last man to play on six World Series losing teams?

Here are five random, and probably very easy, trivia questions, worth 20 GC each:

1) Who was the Zanesville Indians manager in 1949?
2) Who is the only player ever born in Brownstown, PA?
3) What is the official baseball association of American Samoa?
4) When did Chris Guccione first umpire in the Majors?
5) What was Nick Strincevich's nickname?
