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

This long dead ball player hit over .400 on more than 1 occasion. With over 300+ hr in his career and over 1,500 RBi. This man was a true pioneer in the sport.

After his career year with Chicago, he was traded to the Blue Jays and immediately retired at the age of 30 when they discovered his arm problems

<font color=goldenrod>Shit, my bad

Just realized I asked for highest OBP.

Your answer might be right then, the question I meant to ask was for highest slugging %

so yeah: This versatile major leaguer has the highest slugging % in Pac-10 history</font>

Eddie Gaedel to spell it right.

JT Snow for Vito

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?

Evil Vito
04-09-2006, 08:50 PM
<font color=goldenrod>Carl Hubbell? Is that his name? Might be spelled wrong. I think Clemens holds the AL consecutive wins record.

This retired pitcher batted a pathetic .019 (1-for-53) in 2003</font>

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.

The first official "All-Star Game" was held in 1933, but before that there was an unofficial "All-Star game" held that featured some of the leagues best players. This game was played to honor what player?

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.
