Describe a player and guess who it is thread

[northeastphillyguy]

Mays.

Let me clarify the question. This guy never entered the hall of fame.

 

[Cedrique]

Not him.

So it's a guy that came extremely close but didn't get in, then the veterans committee never voted him in either?
Rizzuto and Santo were close forever but then they finally got in.
How about Thurman Munson?

Let me clarify the question. This guy never entered the hall of fame.

This is a tough one. So many are just below that level.

 

[Cedrique]

Graig Nettles?

 

[Cedrique]

Steve Garvey? he's a little overrated but I could see people voting for him

 

[jvett77]

Maris?

 

[Cedrique]

Rafael Palmeiro?

 

[Cedrique]

Orlando Cepeda?

 

[northeastphillyguy]

No one has guessed it yet! Here is a big clue. Don Zimmer and Sandy Amoros are former teammates.

 

[Cedrique]

Dale Murphy?

 

[jvett77]

Had to be a Dodger. Pee Wee Reese?

 

[Cedrique]

Never heard of Sandy Amoros

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Had to be a Dodger. Pee Wee Reese?

Not him.

 

[Cedrique]

The guy that didn't want to play with Jackie Robinson?

 

[jvett77]

Johnny Padres?

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Johnny Padres?

Not him. Clue: think of a fish part.

Gil Hodges

Gil Hodges

Yes! He had over 370 lifetime homeruns and 1200 rbis. Finished career with the Mets.

 

[jvett77]

Yeah, Gil!

 

[Cedrique]

Yes! He had over 370 lifetime homeruns and 1200 rbis. Finished career with the Mets.

Luckily fish don't have that many different parts so the clue helped a lot
