Obscure Reds Trivia
I encourage everyone to come up with some questions. This will be my first one, and if it goes well, I'll add more.

Since 1970, Chris Welsh, Pete Schourek, and Bronson Arroyo are the only Reds pitchers to have this in common. What is it?

I don't remember Pete Schourek doing a JTM commercial, but I might have missed it.

Re: Obscure Reds Trivia
does it have something to do with batting, rather than pitching

That is more than possible.

Nope, but he's the only Reds pitcher since 1989 to record 18+ wins in a season.

They wouldn't be the only ones to hit home runs would they?

They hit home run in their first starts for the Reds?

Re: Obscure Reds Trivia
Here's a question: In 1987, one Reds pitcher went 10.2 innings without giving up a hit, but did not get credit for a no-hitter. Who was he?

John Franco, spread out over his first 11 appearances.

No, but it involves homeruns.

Re: Obscure Reds Trivia
I noticed that Tony Cloninger just posted in a different thread, so I'll say that this is something Tony Cloninger has done as well.

Hitting homeruns off the Cubs?

Re: Obscure Reds Trivia
Excellent question.

I consider myself a Reds-Trivia geek that would draw the respect of any Star Wars/Trek geek or any gaming geek. And, I am completely stumped.

I was, however, delighted to find through simple research on retrosheet that Pete Schourek's two career home runs were against Pedro Martinez and Curt Schilling.
