Question #132:

This player from the '30s, '40s, and '50s is one of only two players in MLB history to have six 3-HR games, and he's the only one of the two who is in the Hall of Fame.  The other is Sammy Sosa.

Hint: He's not a member of either the 500-HR club or the 3,000-hit club, but he did lead the league in HRs four times and finished top-10 in MVP voting six times.

(Fun tidbit: The next highest HOFers have four such games, but there are six non-HOF players who have five.)

Mize?

Damn.  Thought that would take longer.  Nice guess.

Mize and Sosa are the only players in MLB history with six 3-HR games.  ARod, McGwire, Kingman, Delgado, Joe Carter, and Mookie all have five.  Everyone else has four or fewer.

Ah, that's right.  You've had a lot of active leader questions.  I should have known.

Ive learned to be as broad as possible at first. We are getting too good when the clues are in the question lol.

Question #133

3 HOFers have surpassed 290 innings in a since since 1980. Name them

I love the clues. 

And I have a little bit of an edge on 50’s, 60’s and 70’s guys, as I actually saw them play. 

Doc Halladay had to be close, but dont htink he ever got that close to 300.

Maddux, Seaver, Johnson, Pedro?

Carlton?

Did Jack Morris get there? Smoltzy? Bert Behomebyeleven?

Ryan Express get there later in career?
