Describe a player and guess who it is thread

Try this:

The only pitcher to take a perfect game into the 13th inning
He played on two winning WS teams
Played on five teams including the Phillies, O's, Cards, Pirates, and Reds

I saw the game. Harvey Haddix.

Very good! Oddly, the opposing pitcher, Braves pitcher Lew Burdette, was also pitching a shutout. Talk about a hard luck guy.

• He was born the same as Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World"
• 12-time All-Star
• In 1973 he was named All-American and voted MVP of the College World Series- as a pitcher
• One of four players to be drafted in 3 professional sports
• Over 3000 hits and 400 home runs

quick one

• AL ERA leader in 2001
• Started and won the clinching-game in a World Series
• "10 million dollar win"

 

[Cedrique]

Ok, here is one:
Played almost 20 years.
Started as a catcher then also played left field and DH
Never had any great single season, so only one All Star appearance and 3 times in top 20 for MVP (14 was the highest)
Finished with a very respectable career WAR over 50.
Had decent power (275 career HRs) and was great at getting on base (.370 lifetime OBP)
Often batted leadoff even though he had very little speed.
