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

The Miz 04-08-2006 12:55 AM

Um if you mean first-round draft pick instead of #1 overall pick i think its Travis Fryman

toxic rooster 04-08-2006 12:18 PM

LENNY DYKSTRA

YOUR Hero 04-08-2006 04:20 PM

Travis Fryman is correct.

YOUR Hero 04-08-2006 04:23 PM

This former amature free agent signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers and made his debut in 1956. He died in Montreal in 1993

Don Drysdale

YOUR Hero 04-08-2006 05:03 PM

very good, Assman.

Loose Cannon 04-08-2006 05:05 PM

can I ask too? I'll handle 1890's-1930's

YOUR Hero 04-08-2006 05:06 PM

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.

Loose Cannon 04-08-2006 05:11 PM

Gotta be the greatest 2nd basemen of all-time (imo) Rogers Hornsby

The Miz 04-08-2006 05:12 PM

Rogers Hornsby

YOUR Hero 04-08-2006 05:13 PM

yeah.

go ahead and post some too.

The Miz 04-08-2006 05:14 PM

This guy completely fell off the face of the earth after being a 15 win, 200 inning guy in the 90's for the White Sox. Another good player ruined by injuries

Loose Cannon 04-08-2006 05:16 PM

What Hall of Fame pitcher from early 1900's was known for leaving during the middle of games to run after firetrucks?

Loose Cannon 04-08-2006 05:17 PM

Black Jack Miz

YOUR Hero 04-08-2006 05:24 PM

Jack McDowell.
(became infamous for giving the home fans the finger after a poor outing)

The Miz 04-08-2006 05:25 PM

No, very good guess though

give me another hint

The Miz 04-08-2006 05:41 PM

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

Loose Cannon 04-08-2006 05:47 PM

ah, Mike Siroka or whatever. I remember now. Think that's him.

The Miz 04-08-2006 05:51 PM

Yeah, Sirotka

Gertner 04-08-2006 06:12 PM

fucking Sirotka

Adder 04-08-2006 07:15 PM

This player held the longest hitting streak until broken by Dimaggio. Another of his records was recently broken by a Seattle Mariner.

The Miz 04-08-2006 07:52 PM

Sisssssssssssssssler

This veteran, journeyman lefty currently sports an ERA of 189.00 this season (more than 4 times that of former teammate Barry Zito)

YOUR Hero 04-08-2006 09:27 PM

Loiaza?

<font color=goldenrod>Chris Hammond, Miz</font>

Evil Vito 04-08-2006 10:48 PM

<font color=goldenrod>This current major leaguer has the highest OBP in Pac-10 history.</font>

The Miz 04-08-2006 10:50 PM

Barry Bonds? Scott Hatteberg?

Evil Vito 04-08-2006 11:39 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Nope

Another hint: he's very versatile. Played all 3 OF spots and 2 IF spots (1B, 3B) so far in his big league career</font>

Evil Vito 04-08-2006 11:45 PM

<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>

The Miz 04-08-2006 11:47 PM

Oh. Xavier Nady from Cal

The Miz 04-08-2006 11:50 PM

This player put up a career 1.000 OPS in his "shortened" career with the St. Louis Browns

RoXer 04-09-2006 12:58 AM

Who chased firetrucks?

<font color=goldenrod>Eddie Gaebel.....or whatever his last name was...can't remember exactly. But he was the midget who was walked in his only AB</font>

Evil Vito 04-09-2006 08:40 AM

<font color=goldenrod>This current major league infielder has given himself the number 84 as a tribute to his father</font>

Loose Cannon 04-09-2006 09:35 AM

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>
