What is the only Silver Spikes battery in the history of the MLB?

I just Googled it. You gotta be talking about the Golden Spikes award for best amateur player, right?

A clue

This man was a three sport star, even drafted in three different leagues, excuse me, four different leagues

Winfield? Gwynn? Glavine?

Winfield? Gwynn? Glavine?

Dave Winfield

In the 1973 CWS he pitched two games. First game he shut out Oklahoma on a one hitter, struck out 14. In the semi, he struck out 15 USC batters and had a 7-0 lead against the school that had won four of the last five. A bad call at first knocked Winfield out of the game in the 9th, the gophers bullpen blew it and USC won. People forget what an athlete he was, drafted by MLB, the NBA, the ABA and the NFL, even though he didn't play football at Minnesota

I was going to say Jason Varitek and David Price

Winner winner

Wow, that was a lucky stab. (although when it's obscure like that I figure it's something you heard during a game so the Giants logo on your signature helps.)

Varitek retired after the ‘11 season. Price didn’t get to Boston until ‘16

I forgot Posey. The only catchers I could come up with who won the award was Varitek and Adley Rutchmann

Harper and Zunino as well. The award started in ‘78, and only 5 catchers in it’s 45 year history…

I don’t think Baylor ever hit 50…

 

[TheGoodMan19]

Brady Anderson was one.

I can't get Baylor out of my head but he never hit 50

 

[calsnowskier]

Prince got hit a lot, didn’t he? But did he ever actually hit the 50 plateau? How about ol’ pops Cecil?

They both had 50 homer seasons.

Big Cec never got hit much. Prince got hit 20 times once, but it wasn’t the year he hit 50 homers.

 

[TheGoodMan19]

Gonna throw out Andruw Jones as a guess. I'm trying to think of non-traditional power hitters. Power hitter don't usually get beaned a lot because they don't crowd the plate

Not Baylor
