Name players and the rules that were written to limit their dominance! I’ll start Wilt’ : Shot blocking rules! Hope I’m not just quoting urban legend, because I don’t know for sure! They changed the dunking rule when Jabbar went to UCLA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) 3 parter for a small distraction from some disturbing times... Who are the only brothers in MLB history to both throw a no hitter? What siblings pitched complete game shutouts for the same team in both ends of a double header? Joe Niekro hit 1 HR in his major league career? Who did he hit if off of?

So I will go with the Martinez bros(Ramon and Pedro). It has to be brother Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
