I 92’s Baseball Trivia....Hall of Fame thread

564 career home runs full stop narrows this to like a dozen people.

I can't figure out who this might be.  Dodgers?

I understand the question now. Never hit a HR as a Dodger. Thome? I recall you mentioning he didn't hit one for LA, I think.

Thome it is....his entire time with the Dodgers he was stuck on 564 career HR

You're a real piece of work, you know it?

Oh. Whatever I read initially was not that lol.

Oh, I see.  Kind of a cool idea for a question.

Yep, really tricky. Obviously hard to word. But clever.

I read that as he had that many while on Dodgers. And figured it was a typo cause nobody would be that high for LA lol.

After 100 questions everyone’s eyes are crossed 

Question #59

These 47 players hit 15 or more HR in 1996, name them

/laley

Maybe I get some street cred for mentioning Thome?

Question #65:

There are three HOF players who started their careers after 1950 who were not primarily middle infielders or pitchers and finished their careers with fewer than 150 homers.

3 players

Hall of Fame

No.

Yes.

Lou Brock started in 1961.  Hit 149 HRs.  Played outfield.

Carew spent too much time at 2nd base.  I didn't consider him, since nearly half his career was there.

I guess he could be a fourth.
