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.

Not Mariners but yes Griffey Jr is their WAR leader

 

[brett05]

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

This person played a year of MiLB before coming back.

Mark Prior? This seems like it could be a lot of folks actually.

 

[brett05]

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

Mike Schmidt

 

[brett05]

I saw, it was MJ. So we are doing non-baseball trivia too?

 

[brett05]

Don't "sleep" on this WAR leader. He is?

How is MJ "non-baseball"? What I'm getting away from is "this WAR leader" stuff. There are 30 teams and thus 30 WAR leaders. And you missed my next trivia.

 

[Parade_Rain]

This player had a nose for baseball.

The way you phrased it made it a basketball question imo. That is why I asked my question.

I want to finish on the WAR leaders before moving on if that is ok.

So JP is not right?

MJ played a year of MiLB ball. That's baseball. The thread title is "baseball trivia".

You can finish your "WAR leader" angle, but should that stop others from adding other trivia? Who gives a crap about "WAR leaders" anyway? Do you know how good Yaz was, yet because Ted Williams played in his organization, Yaz isn't the WAR leader by a big margin? Who meant more to the Stroh's...Biggio or Bagwell or Berkman?

So JP is not right?

He was right. I forgot he had it right away. I was ready with my helicopter and FSU posts.

Ken "Hawk" Harrelson

No.

 

[Parade_Rain]

No.

This player had a nose for baseball. This player was a second round pick of the Yankees out of high school.

At best a very obscure baseball trivia question really. But to each their own.

First you like things and then you hate things yet nothing has changed for this thread. :shrug:
All this trivia thread is that I am keeping record on who gets what right from my questions is some fun about the best franchise player on each team as measured by WAR which generally speaking is accepted as a reasonable attempt to classify players on the greatness scale.

He was right. I forgot he had it right away. I was ready with my helicopter and FSU posts.

OK, I am keeping up. Phew!

Yogi Berra

 

[Parade_Rain]

Yogi Berra

No. Yogi is your version of Cal Ripken, Jr, eh?

 

[brett05]

HEHEHE....maybe.....

 

[brett05]

Could there be a spelling nuance in your question PR?

 

[Parade_Rain]

At best a very obscure baseball trivia question really. But to each their own.

Let me google the word "trivia" for you.

triv·i·a
ˈtrivēə/Submit
noun
details, considerations, or pieces of information of little importance or value.
"we fill our days with meaningless trivia"
synonyms: minutiae, minor details, petty detail, niceties, technicalities, trivialities, trifles, trumpery, non-essentials, ephemera; informal: small potatoes, peanuts
"his head is overflowing with obscure trivia"

 

[brett05]

Oh I missed one part. Let's try and keep one question active at a time to avoid things getting lost. I'll withdraw my question until an opening happens. PR is up with his Nose guy.
