Chipper, Helton, Pujols, Ichiro, probably Wright

This is pretty much just a who's faster at pulling up Baseball Reference contest

6/23/2009 3:31:16 PM

Its not like we have an honor system here, but with nothing to gain by cheating, it would be nice to play by the rules

Whoever "guesses" Magglio Ordonez, you know thats a liar

6/23/2009 3:34:16 PM

Ichiro
Pujols
Sandoval (does he have enough at bats to qualify?)
Youkilis
Manny

What incident prompted the following joke:

" * "The Dodgers have 3 men on base!" * "Oh, yeah? Which base?" "

6/23/2009 3:50:55 PM

for the original question, maybe... Freddy Sanchez, Hanley Ramirez, Joe Mauer?

6/23/2009 5:51:59 PM

I'm sure Jeter is one...

Vlad? He has to be one. Miggy Cabrera?

I don't know if everyone who has been mentioned has been verified?

6/23/2009 5:55:38 PM

I guess if we're going by baseball-reference.com none of the ones i listed count i dunno how long they think you have to be in the league to be an active leader?

but sanchez isn't over .310 anyways, and if you count up to today hanley's at .310 right now.

6/23/2009 5:57:13 PM

Sandoval is a career .339 batter

but he has less than 400 career at bats

[Edited on June 23, 2009 at 6:59 PM. Reason : .304/40/113]

6/23/2009 6:55:33 PM

DING DING DING DING...Michael Bourn it is

^Tony Gwynn? (not really a slugger, more of a hitter)...maybe Matt Williams or Will Clark?

6/23/2009 7:00:10 PM

40 bombs, definitely not Gwynn

not Williams or Clark either

6/23/2009 7:00:56 PM

6/23/2009 7:02:26 PM

same 5 teams in it now

6/23/2009 7:06:01 PM

^^don't know if he was in the league at the time but Todd Helton?

6/23/2009 7:11:09 PM

Luis Gonzalez.

Who is the only player in NBA history to get 10 rebounds a game and shoot 45 percent from 3 in the same season ?

6/23/2009 11:45:23 PM

LeBron?

McHale?

6/24/2009 12:00:59 AM

i had to look it up because it was pissing me off. so i didn't wanna cheat and put castilla out there.


i have no idea on the basketball one. probably somebody old. i'll just guess...larry bird

6/24/2009 12:19:47 AM

yeah that definitely sounds like Larry Bird

6/24/2009 12:57:38 AM

He's white, but its not Larry Bird

American White, not Eurotrash

Within the last 10 years

6/24/2009 8:43:36 AM

I was gonna say Jason Kidd till I saw he had to be white

6/24/2009 8:50:06 AM

Jason Kidd couldn't shoot 45 percent from three if the rim was twice as wide

and he's a great rebounder for a PG, but 10 is even out of his league to average for a whole season

6/24/2009 8:51:35 AM

brad miller?

put dirk first then saw the non-eurotrash comment

[Edited on June 24, 2009 at 8:54 AM. Reason : asdf]

6/24/2009 8:53:45 AM

no

went to a predominantly white college

plays in a predominantly white city today

6/24/2009 8:56:55 AM

Kidd shot 46% 2 season ago but only averaged 6.5 boards

6/24/2009 8:57:28 AM

you're right, but in 29 games after the trade from NJ

this is over a full season

6/24/2009 8:58:53 AM

6/24/2009 8:59:18 AM

troy murphy

6/24/2009 9:00:13 AM

Yes sir

Last season Murphy accomplished the feat

I was surprised that was the first time ever









Panther's trivia you say ?

Who was the first player the Panthers ever cut ?

6/24/2009 9:03:03 AM

GOLDBERG

6/24/2009 9:04:29 AM

wow, was the person cut before the first training camp, or into the season?

6/24/2009 9:04:41 AM

preseason. he then went on to professional wrestling.

6/24/2009 9:06:12 AM

haha, was it really goldberg? I vaguely remember that

6/24/2009 9:08:27 AM
