Lofton, Baerga, Belle, Murray, Ramirez, Thome

And for the other one I'll say 5 were above .300 but I wasn't really old enough to remember who was on that team and since I can't look it up I'll just give a bad guess: Belle, Ramirez, Thome, Baerga and Franco.

Congrats....you have 3 questions correct. as for the 300 hitters...the tribe had 6 out of 8 position players that hit 3 bills. Only Sandy and Omar were short.

Actually...your first answer was the right one. In 1993, Lofton hit only one homer in over 570 at bats. But he finished with 130 dingers....a full 50 more homers than the human rain delay hit.

I just looked up the 1, 3, and 4. I had 2 of them right and stopped. But are you sure I only had 1 right?

EDIT: You got it, lol.

Sandy hit .300 in '95. I'm pretty sure he hit exactly .300.

You are correct. That makes 7. He did have less plate appearances than Tony Pena....but over 200 plate appearances should count IMO.
