Describe a player and guess who it is thread

[Omar 382]

He actually played the OF that year, but for his career he played 676 games at third and only 122 in OF (mainly left and right)

 

[Cedrique]

ohhhhh I know who you're talking about, but I can't remember his name. The guy that was out of baseball for a year or two for some reason and came back. I want to say Abraham Nunez for some reason but Nunez hasn't hit 34 HRs in his life

 

[Omar 382]

Yeah, I think we're talking about the same guy

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Chipper Jones!

 

[Omar 382]

Not Larry

 

[Cedrique]

It has to be Fernando Tatis!
I knew it was a former Cardinal that went to the Mets but somehow my brain was being blocked by Fernando Vina
and I knew it wasn't him

I named the guy. It is Chipper Jones. That guy was a Phillie killer.

Troy Glaus?

It was Tatis. Did you read the rest of the clues NE?

NO! I am too high on caffeine since you revived my interest in iced tea!
