Without looking it seemed like the Cubs were on SNB as much as any team
Sunday Night Baseball is all about the big markets.
Let's go with 14 teams playing on SNB in 2019.
I sense the second part of the question is a trick question from VALUIST.
I'll guess no team played only once on Sunday Night Baseball.

Pretty close. 16 teams played. Only 10 teams played 2 or more times. Houston, considered one of the most talented teams and playing in the 4th biggest market? One sole appearance. Minnesota? A team that won over 100 games and set a record for most HRs? Not a single appearance. If it seems like its always Red Sox/Yankees, Cubs/Cardinals, Dodgers, Phillies or Braves, it's because it was.
What team was on the most?
Cubs and Dodgers tied at 6. Yankees, Atlanta and Boston with 5.
Cleveland and Cubs?

What was the only Major offensive category that Carlton Fisk ever led the league in?
That's not it
Chi_Archie
EOG Veteran
yes, he did lead the league in that before.
but that's not a MAJOR offensive category.
at least not as tradition of a HITTING stat is the one i'm referring to.

yes he led the league in triples with 9 during his first full season of 1972

That's crazy. Must have been some wicked bounces and bad fielding off the Green Monster?
Fisk suffered a devastating knee injury in 1974.
Before that, he was known for his all-out, aggressive style in all parts of the game.
I best remember him as an old man lumbering down the first-base line as a member of the Chicago White Sox in the early 1990's.

On the other hand, it's hard to triple at Wrigley Field.
Kessinger though recorded a lot of triples.

Tim McCarver actually led the NL in triples also in the mid 60's.
And Reds in the strike year.

Sounds like a trick question, I'll say neither hit for the cycle.
VALUIST would not do that to us, FW.
Not that tricky a question.
I'll go with the slow-footed Aaron over the speedier Mays.

Name the 4 players that have won an MVP at multiple fielding positions
I will go with Pete Rose, Ernie Banks, Joe Torre and Alex Rodriguez.

Arod is the only correct one in that list
Robin Yount? I know he won an MVP as a SS. Can't remember if he did as a CF.
As for the other question, I'll guess Martin Maldonado, although I think he was "only" on 4.

Yount and Arod are correct
We need two more
