Describe a player and guess who it is thread

[Omar 382]

I think he was a Red or Dodger based on the 89 NLCS.

You've got a couple teams mixed up

Like I said, he was a Giant

 

[Cedrique]

• Played for a decade for one team as a second baseman

• First player to be caught stealing four times in one game
• Big factor in a 1989 LCS as he hit two home runs in the series and lead his team to a victory in the series
• Had his best season in 1993 when he slashed .312/.375/.496 with a 139 wRC+ and a 6.1 WAR

This Guy is from West Palm Beach Florida. He went to Community college about two miles from my house.

Dude, Ced spent like 10 fucking minutes and was on the verge of breaking the whole case open. What the hell!

 

[Cedrique]

you're killing me

 

[Cedrique]

I'm running out of slightly above average 70's and 80's players. When does the Grapefruit league start?

Next time I will give him 12 minutes1

 

[Cedrique]

Thank you!

Okay here is one more.

This guy had a career that only lasted 9 major league seasons, but he received MVP votes in 4 of them.
Played on one all star team. Not much homerun power but tremendous speed. Had double digit triples in 3 seasons. Loved to steal bases, totaling 455 in his short career.
He has something in common with Panthers Offensive Lineman Michael Oher.

Maury Wills?

 

[Cedrique]

Lifetime .288 hitter. Career oWAR of 26.3

 

[Omar 382]

Lou Brock?

 

[Cedrique]

Maury Wills?

nope. good guess though

 

[Omar 382]

Vince Coleman had to have had more than 455 SB, right?

 

[Cedrique]

Lou Brock?

no, Lou Brock played forever. This guy had a kind of short career

 

[Omar 382]

Can I get a couple teammates?

 

[Cedrique]

Vince Coleman had to have had more than 455 SB, right?

Yeah, I think so. This guy once had 97 in a season. He was traded the next season and replaced by Tim Raines

 

[Cedrique]

Steve Kemp, Andre Dawson, Jason Thompson, Tim Raines

 

[Cedrique]

The connection with Oher is they made a movie about him while he was still playing
