I did, back on 4/29.
Charlie Hough - gave up Reggie Jackson's third home run in game 6 of the 1977 World Series, and was the winning pitcher for the Florida Marlins' debut win over the Dodgers in 1993.
Going into the 1980 NBA Draft the Celtics had the #1 and #13 overall picks. They traded those two picks to Golden State for the Warriors #3 overall pick and a player on the Warriors roster. Name the two players that went to Boston (player and draft pick) and the two draft picks that went to Golden State in that trade.
I don't know the answer to the whole question, so I am going to go for half of it.
Joe Barry Carroll was one of the players Boston sent to Golden State and the great Robert Parrish was the player the Warriors sent to the Celtics.
I will always remember my late father saying "I bet whoever made that trade for the Warriors is now unemployeed."

Right on, Jim. It was Robert Parish and Kevin McHale (two hall of famers) for Joe Barry Carroll and the immortal Rickey Brown. Talk about a heist!! Being a Boston sports fan, I have seen great trades (like this one) and awful trades (see Sparky Lyle for Danny Cater). My top 5 Boston sports trades:
1. The Parish/McHale heist
2. Celtics get Dennis Johnson from Phoenix for Rick Robey
3. Red Sox get Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe from Seattle for Heathcliff Slocumb
4. Bruins get Jean Ratelle, Brad Park, and Joe Zanussi from the Rangers for Phil Esposito and Carol Vadnais
5. Red Sox get Pedro Martinez from Montreal for Tony Armas, Jr. and Carl Pavano
I go all they way back to 1964, Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio. The Cubs dropped the ball on thay one. I saw and got Lou Brock's autograph in 1962, when he was a Cub. Wish I had that scorecard now.
In 1967, Carl Yastremski came within one vote of being a unanimous M.V.P.
Name the player who got the one other vote for 1967 A.L. MVP.

BINGO......So what was it..The Baseball Encyclopedia or......Baseball Awards Voting for 1967 - Baseball-Reference.com
I'm not sure about the switch hitter, but I remember the Co-MVP's only because their last names sounded alike. It was Bill Madlock and Jon Matlack........I'm not sure about the year, was it 1977?
Correct on the co MVP's......Big Mets fan here..That's why I didn't have to look that one up...the year was 1975
You are right. For some some reason I was thinking it was Curt Knight. Did Mark Mosely take over for Curt Knight on the Redskins?
