Mike & Mike trivia....

[dickay]

Mike & Mike had a trivia question yesterday which I missed the answer to and its been burning me.

I haven't looked it up, only throwing some guesses out there. The question was;

If Vlad Querrero finishes with over a .300 avg. this year (he's like at .307) he'll be only the 2nd player ever to have 11 consecutive years with .300+ avg and 25+ HR's. Who is the other to accomplish this?

So.....does anyone know the answer?

My guesses were;

Eddie Murray
Robin Yount
Mike Schmidt

I'm pretty sure its probably none of them and goes back further to someone like an Al Kaline or Stan Musial.

I really want to know the answer though.

Damn I found the answer and it was someone I thought it may be but said nah, can't be.

well i'll tell you its none of those I mentioned lol. Yount wasn't even close. The guy who it is, IMO after looking at his numbers may be the most underappreciated underrated player of alltime. His numbers were simply amazing!

Cmon, lets hear some guesses!

Lou Gehrig.

[HoustonGM]

Yeah, it's Gehrig.

Lou Gehrig.

over rated player










j/k

Yeah its Gehrig, I was quite shocked at how good his numbers were. I ruled him out of my guessing process because I didn't think he had 11 high quality consecutive years due to his illness but he just met it. This guy was easily one of the 3-5 best offensive players of alltime, numbers are pretty staggering.

Yep. Gehrig's illness didn't come into play until the end of his career. He's easily the best first basemen of all time, and one of the top offensive forces ever.

And Carlos Delgado is better according to metsguy234!

Top 3 to 5 sounds about right. I'd put him in my own top 3. I'd probably go:

1. Ruth
2a. Williams
2b. Gehrig

I would have LOVED to see williams #'s if he hadnt gone to war TWICE. he was a MONSTER.. the greatest PURE hitter... EVER

I'd agree here...although one can argue Williams #1 and Ruth #2. You never hear Gehrigs name though, I didn't realize he was this good for this long.

[RedsoxRockies]

I would put Williams, Aaron, Cobb, and maybe Mays over Ruth

You're the same guy that said Pedroia and Tululowiczsky (excuse the spelling) were more likely HOF'ers than Jeter and even AROD.

You don't get a say any longer

That was a year ago LOL. I have changed my perspective and have become less irrational. Jeter and A-Rod are 1st Balloters easily, and Pedrioa and Tulo have a long ways to go
