You are correct on both

1.Forbes Field 1909-1970
2.Hank Aaron-He played for the Indianaoplis Clownsin 1952,made it to the braves in 1954 and closed his career out with the brewers in 76

You sure about that?

Minoso played in 1980, and played in the ***** leagues as well.

Aaron played in the ***** Leagues in the '50s, Minnie in the '40s if I'm not mistaken.

Didnt they just bring Minosa back to let him pitch-hit to break some record? Something like that.

I don't think that was the question they were asking.

If I asked you who was the last International League pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the major leagues, would the answer be Edwin Jackson (who pitched in the IL in 2006) or Matt Garza (who pitched in the IL in 2007)? The answer would be Matt Garza.

Sorry, but I think the book is wrong. Minnie Minoso is the last ***** League player to play for a major league team.

Yes, it was to tie Nick Altrock's record of appearing in a MLB game in 5 different decades.

I know what you're saying, its a question that could be answered two different ways depending on what you want to emphasize. Minoso clearly wasn't the last ***** League player to get into the MLB.

I think its awesome that Aaron, one of the all-time greatest, was the last MLB player the ***** League produced.

I always thought that it was pretty neat that Aaron was first alphabetically of all MLB players. Of course, he is second now behind David Aardsma.

I got to admit I knew the 1st one. I got my Degree in Construction Management and I learned that during one of my classes 7 years ago. What was cool about the stadium is that it was the first Steel/Concrete stadium and it was build in only 4 Months

and the second one I googled.
