Quiz: What is our common denominator?

Out of 63 players who’ve had the chance to do a certain thing this year, only these four have succeeded:

What mountain have those four climbed? Each has had exactly two chances to do it, and succeeded exactly once.

(By the way, it’s a little-known fact that I have a photograph of all four of them eating clam chowder in Cliff Clavin’s kitchen, so that answer is out.)

Okay … everybody to your stations!

just went off a hunch. thought it was interleague related due to the timing, but that wasn’t it. 63 is kind of an odd number of players to have tried doing something. did a PI search for pitchers who have given up exactly 4 hits, and cook stood out

Geez, I was foiled right at the onset.

kzuke, I am flat out flabbergasted by how quickly you were able to come up with the answer.

Well done.

Are we sure that “kzuke” isn’t Ryan Cook’s SN here?

This has to be the first time someone’s gotten it on the first guess, correct?

And it’s also probably the fastest time-wise, 34 minutes, maybe less.

I’m glad I’m not the only one looking for stats on the quiz questions…
