More trivia

Yeah so to recap the question was to name the live ball era stolen base leaders at each position. Some players played multiple positions but it goes by the primary position for that player and includes all of their stolen bases. So far we have LF Rickey Henderson and CF Willie Wilson

There's one more Royal in the list.

Here's some hints for the rest of them.

1B - played entire career on one team
2B - Had a great Aug/Sept/Oct run for the Phillies one season
SS- Won a few World Series Rings
3B - Had a short "peak" but managed to join a semi-exclusive club that is frequented by guys named Bonds
LF Henderson
CF Wilson
RF Got a late start, still racked up 500+ SBs
Pitcher - first ballot hall of famer
DH - Managed in the Major Leagues

RF - Ichiro?

My first two guesses, though I doubt they are right because they are too obvious.

 

[calsnowskier]

Next few guesses…

Righetti
Guidry

[msgkings322]

[obxyankeefan]

Pettitte

 

[catman]

Pettitte is correct. Only 2020 Ks leads the team.

Yankees pitchers have either been mercenaries or contact pitchers for the most part.

Here is another quick question. Does any pitcher in history lead 2 franchises in Ks? If so, who and which franchises?

 

[obxyankeefan]

Just a guess. Nolan Ryan with Houston and the Angels

 

[broncosmitty]

Randy Johnson M’s and DBacks?

 

[obxyankeefan]

Randy Johnson M’s and DBacks?

Who has more with Seattle and by how many Randy or King Felix? Now I have to do some research.

Who has more with Seattle and by how many Randy or King Felix? Now I have to do some research.

Idk. It definitely might be Felix

But Unit and Nolan both jump out as options.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Idk. It definitely might be Felix

But Unit and Nolan both jump out as options.

After looking it was Felix by around 400. Good guess though. I have two others I could guess, but both would by after Johnson.

 

[calsnowskier]

Pettitte is correct. Only 2020 Ks leads the team.

The Spanks have never drafted/developed a HOF pitcher. Guidry is the closest they have. Ford and Rufing were both pre-draft and Mariano was an international FA.
