Describe a player and guess who it is thread

Garett Anderson. The team that changed their name 3 times was the Angels.

Ivan Rodriguez?

Anaheim, LA, and CA. Boy, were they confused.

 

[Cedrique]

Was Garrett Anderson right? I'm thinking it was Vlad the impaler

Anderson was correct.

Did you forget about my mystification of the HOF vote?

 

[Omar 382]

• Center fielder with speed and power
• Led the NL in hits twice (1961 and 1963), doubles twice (1959 and 1960), and triples twice (1963 and 1967)
• Gold Glove winner in 1961
• Had arguably his best season in 1963 when he hit .313/.347/.514 with a .376 wOBA and a 143 wRC+, which was good for a 6.5 WAR (technically this is his second best WAR season but I think it's his best overall)
• Teammates with Frank Robinson, Curt Flood, and George Brett

So it's gotta be someone who ended their career on the Royals. All I can think of is Cookie Rojas but I don't think he was nearly that good.

Jose Cardenal?

 

[Omar 382]

No to both

 

[jvett77]

"Stretch" McCovey?

One of nine MLB players with at least 2500 hits, 250 home runs, and 300 stolen bases

Nope

 

[jvett77]

Lou Brock?

 

[jvett77]

The "Say Hey" Kid

 

[jvett77]

Duke Snider

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Vada Pinson.

 

[jvett77]

That might be it.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

That might be it.

Yeah. He played with Robinson.

Omar's making his afternoon run to Chester.
