That was my next guess…

Helton?

So far no one has gotten either one.

The 10 triples really makes this a pain in the ass. Most guys that hit 10+ triples are usually speedy guys that don't hit for a lot of power, or they're not going to have that many doubles... and these kinds of players tend to hit towards the top of the lineup where it's hard to get 100+ RBIs

You'll probably never see such a season happen ever again in today's game. It's becoming more and more rare for batters to even approach 10 triples anymore

Jimmy Rollins had one of them crazy seasons where he had multiple stats up there, but I don't know about the Gold Glove.

Barry Bonds

Bonds won a bunch of gold gloves but didn't get the 10 triples

Yeah both of these guys played in an era of multipurpose stadiums and Astro turf where doubles and triples were a little more common than they are today.

One looked like Larry Bird……

Welp, I just found one of them. Let's just say the guy was the last active major leaguer to be a teammate of Hank Aaron.

I never realized that, but that's definitely the right guy.

yep, you definitely got that one

 

[Pure Steel]

Andre Dawson 4 doubles short……

 

[Cedrique]

Hint: the second guy could have easily played a NY or Baltimore cop. Probably not for the length of a series like Hill Street Blues or NYPD Blue. He'd be the guy that came in for a few episodes, established himself as kind of a loudmouthed douche, then got kicked off the force.

Duke Thomas?

Duke Thomas?

That reference is going over my head

I cheated, so I will explain when someone else gets it.

is the unnamed guy , still the guy that resembles Larry Bird? and played with Hank Aaron?

Both are still unnamed. But the Larry Bird and Hank Aaron teammate are the same guy.

And “Duke Thomas” is a convoluted clue to one of them.

oh oh oh, is Robin Yount one of them? He played on Brew-has and sorta resembles Larry Legend.
