Watching Baseball Tonight, and they had this question. If you were watching, dont give away the answer. I got 3 of the 4.
Name the 4 players who have hit a HR in 4 different decades.

Rickey might be one since he started his career in 1979.

I think Ty Cobb would also be possible.

If it was on baseball tonight, I am going to guess a current player and I think Vizquel is the oldest position player and might have started his career in the 80's.

Rickey is correct, Viquel (has not hit a HR in the 2010's) and Cobb wrong.

My first thought was Junior. But he only played in 3 decades.

Yep.
Its Little O, Teddy Ballgame, McCovey and Rickey Henderson.
Williams and Henderson were easy, imo, McCovey was a correct guess, and I was wrong on Harmon Killebrew (had no clue when he started or ended his career lol). I missed Omar, but when it was said it was kind of a duh. Only cause Ive looked at his stats so often, I knew he started in 89 and is still playing...

Either way, correct.wildcats20;1163768 wrote:I had to look up McCovey. So not really a guess lol
I had orginally guessed McCovey, Rickey, Teddy and Killebrew. They only have 1 commercial break between question and answer so I didnt even have time to look them up. But I doubt Omar would have entered my head anyway.

Griffey played in 4 decades. Started sometime in the late 80s and retired early in the 2010 season.wildcats20;1163733 wrote:My first thought was Junior. But he only played in 3 decades.

He only played two games in 1969. A lot of the people you would think of (Rose, Yaz, Mays) had their start near the beginning of a decade.Ironman92;1163833 wrote:Would've guessed Fisk over McCovey

Still would've guessed it....knew he played in 4 decades....Tim McCarver and Bill Buckner barely made it I think.....not sure Buckner had any at bats in the 60's....but got in some games.

How many of those are the result of stolen signs from runners at second base I wonder?
