Jr was short as per injuries early in Cincy years

Chipper...not quite... he's around 2400 hits and nearly 38 years old

Eddie Murray has to be the closest incorrect answer


So far......amazingly just Rose and Ripken

Puckett is an excellent guess...but incorrect as he wasn't called up until he was 24....he still came close
