Sorry, Rollie Fingers, and still not getting the wax part.

He had to use wax to get the handlebar.

The is value in WAX as much as there is in WAR!

So that is how that is done. The more you know.

He said this about Wrigley Field: "I'd play for half my salary if I could bat in this dump all the time!"

Roy Hobbs

 

[Diehardfan]

He hit just one home run in 3,754 plate appearances over ten seasons and that one came off a former Cub's broadcaster.

Who is this powerhouse?

 

[Parade_Rain]

Roy Hobbs

No. This is an actual player. That's a fax.

He's real. Roy Hobbs is a synonym for Robert Redford. :lol:

Redford played college ball.

We did the Padres and it was Gwynn, however, no piratey connection. Awesome logic and it is this logic like JP that will lead you to the right answer before "getting wet."

If it aint a Pirate then I have to think Mariner.....

But the Munsters connection is throwing me off and Griffey Jr. would have to be the WAR leader right??? Unless his stints on other teams took him off the leader board....


Ok I am sure it is likely a Mariner, but not convinced it is Griffey as I don't see the Munster connection.... Gonna have to think on this....
----10 minutes later----
Ok I am stuck so my answer is Griffey Jr.

Must be a list of that type.

I need to change my original question to this player came back after playing 1 year of MiLB.

 

[Parade_Rain]

Ok. So to recap and get my fax straight...

This person played a year of MiLB before coming back.

Hmmm, baseball trivia with a basketball overlay.

This player's nickname was certainly bright, but he may have had a better career, if his attention was not diverted to different money-making venture half the time.
