I'm guessing Babe Ruth for stolen bases and I have no idea why.

That's a negatory ghost rider.

I'm pretty sure Eddie Murray is the one left off the 500 HR list on one team.

I'm thinking Murray, Mantle, Schmidt, Mays, Gehrig(?).

murray has played on at least 5 different teams and willie mays played on the mets at the end of his career so those two guys are out.

Thank you, I thought it was going to be a very tough question for someone to answer without googling. Still haven't seen the answer in this thread.

Let's keep it going, I used to be a baseball trivia nerd and although I've forgotten a lot I still love it. OP still hasn't had a correct answer in this thread?

Also, when answering a question we should quote the question to make it easier to read than stream of consciousness answers.

Also, can't believe I forgot Mays played for the Mets.

If this hasn't been answered, I'm taking another crack... Williams, Mantle, Killebrew, SCHMIDT, and BANKS? I meant to put Banks in my original guess but put Gehrig in instead, I'm positive he has 500, and I think Schmidt does too, and I'm pretty sure both played their whole careers with one team. Williams and Mantle did for sure (fuck, I think), and I think Killebrew played just with Senators/Twins but he may have played with someone else at the start or end of his career. This is a hard question.

The OP Question was answered already: Williams, Mantle, Schmidt, Banks, Mel Ott

New Question: Name the 5 pitchers (since 1955 because I'm bad before then) to allow a walk-off hit to end the World Series (i.e. in the clinching game).

Mitch Williams, Mariano Rivera, and whoever game up the HR to Mazeroski are the only ones i can think of

Until the 1990's (Bonds ruined it) there had been one player at EACH position who won back to back MVP's. Yep one (and only one) Catcher, 1b, 2b, 3b, SS, P and OK 3 outfielders (2 centerfielders one left fielder) Name them.

catcher- yogi
1B- foxx
2B- joe morgan
3B- michael jack schmidt
SS- banks
OF- dale murphy, mays, maris

i'm pretty sick. toughest one was catcher- was between yogi and campanella. a pitcher has really shipped back to back? gonna guess bob gibson.

oh shit just noticed you have an OF wrong lol.

yeah mantle not mays, pitcher is brutal.

think this one still works, 4 guys with 10 or more letters in their last name have hit 40 HR's in a season.

As a kid I used to have huge lists of career stats memorized and was a god at baseball trivia baseball cards got me hooked on the stats and history. Still not too bad.
