Without looking it up

[Omar 382]

Name the 10 players in MLB history who have hit 400 career homers, have a .300 lifetime batting average, and have never struck out 100 times in a season. You can name them one at a time. Don't look it up, it ruins the fun

Have to throw this one out there just because in message boards, ranking and overrated/underrated always comes into play and he is one I always seem to bring up on a lot of these topics. VLAD

Idk about VLAD, he really was whiffing at everything towards the end with Baltimore.

EDIT: Just looked it up. I can honestly say I am surprised.

Barry Bonds*?

negatory. very close, i think he hit .298. i just looked it up. in his rookie year in '86, he had 102 k's. oh, so close but no cigar

I'm very familiar with his stats. It feels like I've been on a personal mission to get him more recognition over the years or something. It's just I have brought his name into several debates because I feel he gets left out of a lot of discussions.

5 out of 10 in just an hour and a half hour. impressive

I'll take a shot: Willie Mays?

Just looked it up. Boy, was I off. Pretty interesting list.

not a bad guess at all. he only had 1 season of 100 or more strikeouts

 

[Clayton]

Hank Aaron has to be on the list, I think. How many times did Pujols strike out last year? He is likely on the list, too. I want to put Mantle on there but he's overrated, IIRC

we already said yes to aaron. yay to pujols, nay to mantle. 6 out of 10

Pujols would much rather hit into a double play than strikeout at this stage of his career. If he starts catching up to fastballs again, he might have a few 'Pujols-like' seasons left
