Today’s Prize is a copy of the book Black and Blue: The Golden Arm, The Robinson Boys and the 1966 World Series that Stunned America by Tom Adelman. I recently received a copy of the book- which is about how after winning the two previous World Series, the Dodgers managed only two runs against a surprising Baltimore Orioles line-up that included both Brooks and Frank Robinson, as well as a young Jim Palmer, and Dave McNally. The Dodgers scored only two runs in the series and were held to 17 hits total. The quiz is open to anyone and you can win by leaving the correct answer in the comment area below.

Trivia Question: The Orioles won the 1966 World Series against the Dodgers holding the Dodgers to a .142 batting average during the season. In 1971 though, the team produced 4 20-game winning pitchers. Jim Palmer was still there and one of those 20 game winners. Can you name two of the other three?
