Here's one that gave "Stump the Hersh" a little trouble, let's see if you guys can get it.
Since 1900 there have been many players to have over 150 RBI'S in a season, but only one guy did it without hitting at least 30 HR's. Name him. Good luck.
This one comes to you via Twitter, tweeted by Tigers fan Jeff K-Ski, @swampudlian. Jeff's avi is a picture of journeyman home run hitter, Steve Balboni (and the glory of his moustache). I obtained Jeff's approval to steal this question after being thoroughly stumped myself. Honor system applies... the first time Hersh will see this question is when he reads this post so good luck.
Name the three players to hit home runs as teenagers (before their 20th birthdays) AND after turning 40 (after their 40th birthdays).

This never gets old... I have a great reader-submitted "Stump the Hersh" question. This one comes from Charles H in Greenwood, SC and it is a good one.
As you know, Bert Blyleven was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame earlier this year. During his induction speech, Bert made mention to the fact that he was one of only three pitchers in baseball history that won games prior to his 20th birthday and after his 40th birthday. Name the other two pitchers that have accomplished this feat... honor system applies - good luck (I think you're going to need it).
If you've got a great trivia question capable of Stumping the Hersh, email them to me at fiduciarystandard@gmail.com.

Since 1900 there's been quite a few players who've had 200 hits and 100 walks in the same season. Can you name the only player to do it 6 times?

Here's one I found for our resident trivia expert that I found interesting. It's open to all of you reading this as well as him. Leave your guesses in the comments section. No cheating...
Q: Of the players who have been selected to 13 or more All Star games, name the only two players to have played at least once for both AL and NL?
Note: There have been 23 players selected to at least 13 All Star games. There's also a bit of a twist/trick to it. Not a trick question, but one element is different now.

Can you name the 3 pitchers that have won a World Series with 3 different teams (since 1950)?
Name the 10 Hall of Famers to never play in the minors.
Time for some trivia, it's been a while.
Name the 2 players to win World Series MVP and then the next year win league MVP?
When it comes to trivia, I am convinced that there aren't many (if any) better than the Hersh.
A reader recently submitted a trivia question on Facebook- not surprisingly, I got it wrong and that got me thinking, "Wouldn't it be great if, from time time, we posted a reader submitted trivia question for Hersh?" And so a new segment was born - Stump the Hersh (I know, not very creative... name subject to change). Logistically, here's how it will work:
Readers- send me your questions and answers via email (fiduciarystandard@gmail.com) or Facebook (we do have a For Baseball Junkies facebook page) along with the name you would like to appear on this site (First name, last initial and location). I will periodically pick a question at random to post and I will let you know when it's up so that you can see how it turns out.
Hersh - honor system applies. You won't see the question beforehand and you're not allowed to cheat, at all.
If a reader manages to Stump the Hersh, he will be entered into our Stump the Hersh Hall of Fame.
So, here goes:
From Doug H in Phoenixville, PA
Who is the only player in major league history to hit a grand slam in the All-Star game and who was the pitcher? Bonus points if you can tell me the year.
Hersh... 48 hours to post your response, bud. Good luck
