Game time

[Mays-Fan]

Nope, but you are not too far off.

Shawn Estes?

 

[LHG]

Shawn Estes?

I already had him as an answer. I won't duplicate the players.

Here's a couple more clues:
He made his major league debut in 1989, as a 27 year old rookie.
He had rotation mates in Mark Langston, Pat Rapp and Russ Ortiz (as well as Rueter and Estes).
He threw a no hitter against the Dodgers for 9 innings, only to lose it (both no hitter and the game) in the 10th.

Dude's not a pitching coach, is he?

Mark Gardner!

(Thanks Stokes he's the bullpen coach)

The answer was right in front of us.

Since stokes got the wrong coach, I'll give it to you SFGRTB! I thought it would be easier than what it was. Your turn!

 

[SFGRTB]

Led the league in steals in 2 consecutive years, totaling 154.
Won the gold glove 4 consecutive years.
Caught the final out in Dennis Martinez's perfect game.
A SABRmectrics nightmare, but an old school darling.

We seem to be throwing a lot of former Expos into this. I am assuming he was an Expo, as El Presidente threw his perfecto as an Expo.

Yes.

Marquis Grissom?

Most of us are sticking with one-time Giants, so I will keep my guess in that realm...

Bingo. Shake it up a bit

 

[calsnowskier]

He hit for the cycle in the same game that he threw a perfect game and turned 2 unassisted triple-plays.


Twice.

Duh...everybody knows that one.

Nick Lowry!

 

[calsnowskier]

Nick Lowry!

Spelling counts...

Twice.

The second time was better when he dove into McCovey Cove to save that kayaker from drowning after he hit his home run. The CPR he performed while still in the water was amazing.

 

[calsnowskier]

Nick Lowry!

This is not right. You have to spell it correctly.

 

[Stokes1931]

This is not right. You have to spell it correctly.

I have always thought this was the correct spelling. Nick Lowery was a kicker for the Chiefs.

I believe it was back on the Mouse board that some yokel was pimping for Noah Lowry, but kept calling him Nick Lowry. Of course, we know that Nick has no beginning and no ending, but this is how the legend started on message boards.

My recollection was that he mangled the spelling of BOTH names, thus, Nick Lowery.

So if I mangled the original mangling, does that mean I've created my own legend (or is that just in my mind)?
