Sticking with that era. Hopefully this player is inducted to the Hall of Fame next year. Long overdue, he missed by 1 vote in 2014, but it seems like the momentum for his induction is strong for next year.

I missed the change to last. That eliminates the others I was thinking of.
Will guess Eric Davis then.
Hmm, that leads me away from the 3 ALL time greats I was considering of Mays, Mantle, and DiMaggio as options.
Dave Winfield ?
Mays and Mantle are two of the last three who did it and they did it in the same year. Winfield us a good guess and a player with similar skills and position was the player just about the same age and time as Winfield was playing. Played entire career with one team. OFC
Carew never hit many home runs. My guy wasn't a switch hitter so that leaves out Murray. Leftfielder, later a d.h. Many times an A.L. all star. Played along the aqua velva man who was his teams centerfielder. In my opinion despite all the awards he was underestimated. OFC
Wow, really liked that question. Jim Rice was as intimidating a batter as I can remember, but never associated him with triples at all.
The Upton brothers. Can't recall both of their 1st names ( BJ & Justin?)
Yep it’s the Upton brothers. BJ went 2nd in 2002 and Justin went 1st in 2005. You’re up.
Great job . I would have guessed 20 times before getting to David Wright
ged thanks, means a great deal coming from you. Yourself, dtodd,Sky really know this trivia! OFC
