Name players who hit their first home runs in World Series before their hit their first regular season HRs(each of them have at least one career regular season ML homer). There are 3 such players.

None of these four is correct. Zbi. you didn't make the reserve clause Mickey Lolich never hit a homer in the regular season and hit a home run in the 1968 World Series Joe Blanton never hit a regular season home run and hit a home run in the 2008 world series

Read again my first post in this thread.
I ask about players who hit at least 1 HR in World Series and at least 1 HR in regular seasons in the majors and who hit their first WS HRs before they hit their first regular seasons HRs

C - Frank Demaree You named correctly all. My congratulations. I thought this would be an easy one, but I got nothing searching for it. There was a SABR article on pitchers that hit home runs they gave me the name of Rosy (and my other wrong answers) Poor Rosy doesn't have a SABR bio. I sent an email to SABR to see what the requirements are to be a contributor. A lot of your trivia questions are the things that make their stories interesting. Do you have any interest in collaborating?

No, I don't. It's not for me. After getting my response back from them, no me either (Need to pay a yearly membership fee of $80 and numerous rules that I’d rather not follow) I do enjoy their bios though.

As I recall reading as a kid, Rosy Ryan pitched for the NY Giants in the early 1920's, and he had a huge strikeout of Babe Ruth in a World Series in either 1921 or 1922. The Giants won both of those WS from us, as I recall, but we beat them in 1923, 1936, 1937, 1951 and 1962.
