Geocache Description:


The posted coordinates are NOT real.  This is #2 in a series of 4 new sports puzzles.

Growing up in Colorado I was fortunate to have a professional sport being in season at any given time.  My true passion for sports whether it was playing or watching the game was baseball.  The Colorado Rockies did not become a franchise until 1993 and by that time I was entrenched as a die hard Atlanta Braves fan.  Growing up, WTBS was still a super station and I was able to watch nearly every game of the season.  My love for the Braves and the game of baseball is unwavering.

To solve this puzzle it will require a little research on the internet and the puzzle is then yours to go find and claim.  These are all regular season stats!

The final cords are: N45 41.ABC  W108 41.DEF

A) Mark McGwire hit this many triples in his career.

B) The combined number of saves between Clayton Kershaw and Catfish Hunter (as of end of 2019).

C) In 1973, how many games did Roric Harrison lose?

D) In 1927, Lou Gehrig was caught stealing this many times.

E) In 2010, the Chicago Cubs hit this many more home runs than the Washington Nationals.

F) In 1907, Cy Young allowed this many home runs.

You now have what you  need to solve the puzzle.  When you log your cache give a shout out to your favorite team....if you have one.  Go Braves!!
