Sorry, I had the part of my brain that stored JMJ memories removed

 

[Cedrique]

Sorry, I had the part of my brain that stored JMJ memories removed

just like JMJ had the part of his brain that allowed him to hit righthanded pitchers removed

Jeff Francoeur?

 

[Omar 382]

Alright this player should be right in your wheelhouse

• Three time All-Star in 1977, 1978, and 1982
• In 1982, he became the third player in Pirates history to record a 100-RBI and 100 BB season
• He was dealt to the Expos in 1986, where Andres Galarraga stole his starting position
• Finished with 208 home runs and a .366 OBP

Al Oliver?

 

[Omar 382]

No, but this player did bat and throw left-handed

 

[Cedrique]

No, but this player did bat and throw left-handed

wow, I was almost positive about that one

 

[Cedrique]

I think I got it. Jason Thompson?

 

[Omar 382]

I think I got it. Jason Thompson?

Yes it was. A return to form

 

[Omar 382]

Wow, their careers are very similar. I had never heard of Oliver

 

[Cedrique]

Somehow I don't remember him ever going to the Expos.

 

[Cedrique]

Wow, their careers are very similar. I had never heard of Oliver

Oliver didn't have quite as much power but he was always hitting .300 with 15 or 20 hrs.

 

[Omar 382]

So...

 

[Omar 382]

Only watch 1:43 to 1:50

 

[jvett77]

His first name conjurs up images of Coors beer and dictators with bad mustaches

wtf. Did this get answered?

 

[Omar 382]

Dolph Camilli

 

[Omar 382]

I'll try to do this one with clues that won't make it too obvious (but admittedly that might be hard)

• Had the best two years of his career that a pitcher could have
• Became the youngest player to appear in an All-Star game (at least at the time he did it- don't know if it's still the record today)
• Pitched a no-hitter for the Yanks in 1996
• Had a very disappointing 6 year span to finish his career, which is part of the reason he's not in the HOF
