This former #1 draft pick by the Detroit Tigers made his debut in 1990. He played for the Tigers and Indians during his career.

Rube Waddell was the answer to my question. Played for the Philadelphia A's in his prime. Holds the record for most strikeouts (349) in a single season. Known for being really "out there"
ok,
This Hall of Fame pitcher holds the record for most consecutive wins?

<font color=goldenrod>Carl Hubbell? Is that his name? Might be spelled wrong. I think Clemens holds the AL consecutive wins record.

This former Royal was signed as a free agent and was a Saves machine and middle inning innings eater. If not for his relative late start in the majors, I believe he would have been ranked as an all time great in terms of relievers.

This Mount Caramel High School (San Diego, CA) standout was in 1980 considered one of the best 2 prospects in the nation, along with Darryl Strawberry. The Mets drafted both and while Strawberry became a star, this player was never more than a 5th outfielder for parts of 6 seasons in the majors. Despite just 148 career MLB games, chances are you have heard of him.
