Palmeiro, Mike Sweeney, and Jeff Kent are my three guesses. Don't know what Kent would be known for, though.

lol. I watched that game live, but it was on a fuzzy, bunny-eared small TV in the kitchen. Apparently, he only made it to 1st. I swear he got to 2nd. I just remember him waving everyone away because he wanted to run the bases.

I knew it wasn't Dunn after reading the first asterisk and not seeing most handsome and GOAT.
