Richie Ashburn?

 

[Omar 382]

• A little overrated in my mind
• Only player ever to be an All-Star at second base and catcher
• His 668 doubles are the most ever by a right-handed batter
• One of five players with 250 home runs and 400 steals
• Ninth player to collect 3000 hits all with one team

 

[DHoey]

Biggio

 

[Omar 382]

Biggio

Correct! You give it a shot

 

[Cedrique]

Correct! Rich "Whitey " Ashburn

 

[Omar 382]

• First among active players in dWAR
• 4-time All-Star, Gold Glove winner, and Silver Slugger winner
• Known to put up big numbers in the final year of his contract
• Will be a HOFer one day
• Career .285/.337/.477 batter with a .349 wOBA
• One of five players to hit 100 home runs with three different teams; the other four are Darrell Evans, Reggie Jackson, Alex Rodriguez, and Jim Thome

Sticking with one of the recent players (and I won't giv too many clues)

• His 29 post-season home runs are most in MLB history
• AL RBI leader in 1999
  
• AL batting champ in 2002
• AL home run leader in 2004
• His first career home run was in 1993 off Meldio Perez
• Had, by far, his best season in 1999 when he hit .333/.442/.663 with a 172 wRC+ and a 7.5 WAR
• Iffy on Hall of Fame status
