Describe a player and guess who it is thread

[northeastphillyguy]

I'm going to go with Whitey Ford

Good guess. But it is not him. Here is a clue. He was on the chubby side.

I think I got it. Did Babe Ruth pitch for 10 years?

WestCoast texted me saying that he knows the answer but he's too busy getting blown by Mila Kunis on his international flight to Hong Kong to give a speech about his research into his cure for AIDS, cancer, and polio (I texted him that polio has already been cured but he told me to fuck myself and get a life)

David Wells won a CYA right?

Yes, it's the Babe! An amazing pitcher with a very low era. Although he was not a strikeout pitcher he had other stuff!

 

[Omar 382]

Alright Cedrique's turn

 

[Cedrique]

My next guess was Joe Blanton

My next guess was Joe Blanton

He was a little chubby but that is the only comparison.

 

[Cedrique]

OK, This guy won 70 games in a 3 year period, had a WAR of 29.9 for those 3 years, and did NOT win a Cy Young.
Came into the league in 1961 but the bulk of his career was in the 1970's
Led the league in games started 4 years in a row. (so he also lost a lot of games but still had a hell of a run in the early to mid 70s)
Teammates included Jorge Orta, Bucky Dent and Chet Lemon

Blanton did hit that one homerun in the playoffs though......

Don Drysdale

Don Drysdale

Jim Bunning?

 

[Cedrique]

Nope, this guy's career started in the 60's when Drysdale and Bunning were around but he had his great run in the 1970s

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Jim Kaat?

 

[Omar 382]

Hoyt Wilhelm? (My time periods could be way off)

 

[Cedrique]

Jim Kaat?

That is the right ballpark. Kaat played with this guy for a couple years at the end of Kaat's career

 

[Cedrique]

Hoyt Wilhelm? (My time periods could be way off)

yeah, Wilhelm was a little earlier

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Hoyt Wilhelm? (My time periods could be way off)

Who in their right mind would name their son Hoyt?

 

[Cedrique]

This guy played on a team that was very mediocre even with his great pitching. I don't know if they made the playoffs at all in the 1970's

 

[Omar 382]

Could we get some more teammates? I know Dent played for the NYY. I've heard of Lemon, but don't know any teams he played on. I don't know who Orta is
