The answer to the Quickie Trivia question from May 26 is...John Miller, who homered in his first plate appearance with the New York Yankees in 1966, and his last plate appearance with the Dodgers in 1969. Those were the only two home runs of Miller's career. Paul Gillespie, a catcher with the Chicago Cubs, also homered in his first (1942) and last (1945) regular season plate appearances, but spoiled things by subsequently going 0 for 6 in the 1945 World Series.
