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

Jim Kaat won 16 but isn't in the Hall.

Brooks was the GOAT defensive 3rd baseman.  Has to be him.

Yes sir 

Nothing more impressive than the fact that he’s still living

Just looked him up. 92 years old.

Not many would’ve guessed that 35 years later he’d still be kicking

He was 100 lbs overweight for 40 years

That doesn’t usually spell living to be 92

Question #68

In 1987 this HOFer was runner up for the AL MVP....he smoked the winner in WAR by more than 3. Hit .343, 205 hits, 105 RBI.....all career highs and was 21 for 23 in SB

Probably should’ve won the MVP and maybe would’ve gotten him into the HOF a bit quicker.

Molitor?

Seems like he probably got in pretty quickly...

I ran across who this is earlier in some research.  HRs are the only reason he didn't win.

I'll let some guesses go on, though.

Good guess but his 3300+ hits got him in the HOF right away. Molitor hit .353 that year with OPS 1.003

Dude could rake

His top HR season though

Was Molitor the MVP that year? Sick numbers.

Puckett?

Yep.

What the hell. Alan Trammell balled out that year.  He should have won it.

5th or 6th....only played 118 games...scored 114 runs 😕

Puckett?

Nah...he was 3rd that year

Answer is an infielder

A HOFer that hasn’t got much mention on this illustrious thread....I felt bad for him...and his acne scarred face
