Chris Carter, HOF receiver, Hall of Average baseball player

Correct! I never would have gotten that one. He was kind of forgettable. If he hit the 40 bombs in the 70s when it was less common like Ben Oglivie I would have remembered.

Chris Davis, first baseman for the Orioles and known Adderall user not Khris Davis Mr. .247

No idea who the 3rd baseman is

Bingo!

That was my biggest years of fandom being young enough to not have real responsibilities but old enough to care about stuff and I always remember him being a decent power guy for your backup 1B in fantasy leagues

 

[Cedrique]

The last guy might have been the greatest whiff artist ever. He went over 200 ks 3 straight seasons. (only hit 40 hrs one of those seasons)

 

[Cedrique]

Not sure if this helps, but he was only a third baseman for about 5 years worth of games. He ended up playing First base later.

Not a trivia question because I can't think of a good way to phrase it, but just some fun "trivia"

Madison Bumgarner finished his career with more grand slams than known HR hitter Prince Fielder, who finished with more inside-the-park homeruns than known speedster Rickey Henderson, who finished with less steals of home than Babe Ruth, who had as many CGSO as Pedro. Just a fun bit of info

Dunn has to be one with a 40/200 year

Who has a higher career OBP than Ichiro

I like that. I'm trying to think of where you can go from Pedro but haven't come up with anything yet.

Yeah if you look up Three outcome player in a dictionary of phrases there's a picture of Adam Dunn. 8 seasons with over 100 walks.

Who is the only player to hit 50 homeruns and 50 doubles in the same season?

It's tough because all of his stats are so impressive. He's close to more hit batters than Ryan but Ryan still has him there, he does have a lower career batting average than his brother Ramon

Saw him the other night having dinner with Fernando Vina……

Albert Belle

Correct

I just watched that again on Youtube. I love when Albert is running off the field how he keeps looking back at Vina. He looks like Bill Murray running away after that priest got struck by lightning.

I just saw that on Facebook and was gonna paste it here

Correct

Came to mind immediately, though I didn't realize he was the only one. I thought Helton and Pujols also joined that club. Helton was one homer away in 2001 and Pujols was 4 homers short in 2004. Derrek Lee was also 4 homers short in 2005.
