A question for the TMOTTBG-Meister

[Bob78164]

I understand that this weekend's series is the first time the Mets have ever hosted the Rangers (presumably the Rangers have hosted the Mets in the past). Are there any other host-visitor combinations that have yet to occur?

By the way, I was sorry not to see an edition of the game this year. I've enjoyed playing it the last two years, even if I was edged out of the wild card spot by big comebacks twice in a row. --Bob

Yes, I'm sure there are many. The Cardinals, for example, have never hosted the Rangers, nor have they visited Anaheim or Baltimore. I'd imagine the rest of the NL Central teams in particular have a couple of such matchups that have not happened yet since they always get the short end of the interleague stick.

I miss hosting it too, but the games were getting harder and harder to come up with for how few people were playing... and especially this year I'm doing things with my free time. I'd love to host another QoD again, but that ain't gonna happen either....

Looking through these pages, there seem to be 29 opponents with positive number of games played for each franchise, however this does not tell me host vs visitor

What it does tell me, is that if .......


If you limit WAS to WAS and not MTL, then there has been no pairing against CWS and KCR.

Every team has played every other team. That was even a trivia question in one of my past TMOTTBG contests. The last pair of teams to meet was the Cardinals and the then Devil Rays for the final IL series of 2005.

But I'd imagine most if not all teams (Other than obviously the Brewers) have not played in each team's park AND hosted each team at some point.... it is one of the major flaws of the current IL play system that I can't stand...

The Orioles will be making their first visit to Wrigley this year---I think.

Sure it does. It even tells you the home and away records. Thanks, doc! --Bob

I have never been to Wrigley either.
