Describe a player and guess who it is thread

[Cedrique]

Samuel Cogar?

Correct!

 

[DHoey]

Went to the World Series once and lost to a team "right down the road" from his team

Down the road or down the subway?

 

[Cedrique]

yeah, just kidding I've never heard of Samuel Cogar

 

[Cedrique]

Down the road or down the subway?

I think you'd have to drive

 

[Cedrique]

This guy was on the team that is historically better, but they just happened to lose that year

 

[Omar 382]

Raul Mondesi?

 

[Cedrique]

Raul Mondesi?

nope

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Played 18 seasons, mostly in the NL. Racked up a 52.8 career WAR.
Not in the hall of fame-probably not even close, but I'm guessing he got some votes.
Consistent power hitter with 11 seasons of over 20 hrs, many times while only playing 135-145 games due to injuries. 4 All Star appearances and 6 times received MVP votes.
Very good OBP - .267 average, .379 OBP

Reggie Sanders?

 

[Cedrique]

Reggie Sanders?

nope

 

[Cedrique]

He had some really good years near the end of his career and was well respected, but the end of his career was also around the time Mcgwire, Canseco and some other guys were doing amazing things as rookies

 

[DHoey]

Dante Bichette?

 

[Omar 382]

Kirk Gibson?

 

[Cedrique]

that last clue might be a little misleading, because Mcgwire and Canseco were in the AL when they came up, but he was overshadowed by all the great players that happened to be coming into the league then.

 

[DHoey]

Nevermind, just saw the last clue

 

[Cedrique]

Not Bichette or Gibson.

 

[Cedrique]

He was the main power hitter on a team known for it's speed

 

[DHoey]

Mike shmidt wasn't nicknamed serial killer was he?

 

[Cedrique]

Mike shmidt wasn't nicknamed serial killer was he?

Nope.

 

[Omar 382]

I'm praying to Northeast for the answer but I'm getting nothing. This religion feels very similar to my prior faith-Catholicism

 

[Cedrique]

Because he was the main power hitter he put up some incredible walk totals late in his career. One year, his teammate, who was a second baseman racked up 110 RBIs with only 8 HRs, probably because they didn't want to get beat by this player.
