The only guy I can think of that played in 4 decades with a great bat and no wheels is Ted Williams. I think he started in 1939 and finished in 1960. Maybe it was Stan Musial but I don't think he started until the 40's
You are correct! Ted Williams successfully stole bases in the ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s, and even in 1960. He was a career 24/41 stealing bases which means his career OBP of 0.482 is nearly as high as his successful stolen base rate of 0.585

Your question is hard and only three come to mind who played that long.
Rickey Henderson
Tim Raines
Omar Visquel
Ty Cobb or Honus Wagner?????You’ve got the first 3 correct! The 4th player was definitely known more for his bat. In fact, he only stole 24 bases in his career yet he certainly didn’t struggle getting on base

I played with Stan in high school. He started in 41.
Why are you such a Richard Cranium?
Why do have a avatar of a team that cheats?
Answer the question first
Because I am Bi-Polar
Fixed it for you
Don't forget Everything about me is statistically impossible.....your words not mine. Yet you know everything
Right. It was a joke. You seem to take everything too seriously.
Only from you. You try to be funny but aren't. Always harping on the Astros blah blah. Dodgers lost the World Series AT Dodger Stadium. So tell me, if the trash can was such an advantage for 81 homes games, why didn't Springer and Bregman hit 60 HR's with a short porch at Minute Maid? Why didn't Altuve hit .400? Why didn't the team hit .300? Altuve was winning batting titles and getting 200 hits a season when the Astros were losing 100 games a season. But he needs a buzzer? Laughable. I don't agree with what they did but why don't stats align with what you are saying for home games?
I don't believe for a second that the cheating was limited to home games. I believe they were more subtle when on the road. The reason Bregman and Springer didn't hit 60 is because they just aren't talented enough to hit that many even when they are cheating. Altuve is a HOF talent and really tainted his reputation but if you believe that he didn't have anything on under his jersey after he hit that homer off Chapman and you really believe it had something to do with a tattoo that his wife was embarrassed about you are blinded by your rooting interest. I remember watching that, and this was before the cheating was known, and just thinking that was the most bizarre way to act after hitting a walkoff.

Funny. Altuve hit a slider up and away and pulled it to left field for a home run and he was able to do that because of a buzzer? I guess you just watch from a sofa and don't know just how hard this game is. It is even harder on a Major League level. You are just hiney hurt because your team lost at home. I'm going to do you a favor. Bye Bye now.

It's a lot harder to hit a slider up and away...when you don't know it's coming.

Without looking it up, who gave up Roger Maris' 61st HR at Yankee Stadium in 1961?
I didn't know that off the dome. But I know who gave up Bonds record breaker over Hank Aarons all time. Because he is on sports radio here in DFW. Mike Bacsik

That’s hilarious. I was explaining the intricacies of physical attribute embellishment to my son last night and used your example of Altuve and I ain’t kidding.

I’ve got one no one will get. Who was the first IF to join the 30/30 club? Hint: he’s friggin awesome

Oof this is a lot tougher than I thought it was going to be. I know Joe Carter and Howard Johnson both had 30/30 seasons in ‘87. Johnson played 3B for sure, and I think Carter might’ve played 1B that season more than the outfield. Am I close??

Your smoldering about to combust.
Hint this IF made the club three times. He and a teammate also were the first and only to ever be in the club as teammates in the same season

I believe you might be right about Carter. 1988 was the year Canseco became the first 40/40 player (40 Hrs and 42 steals)

Howard Johnson it is! The teammate was definitely Straw. I loved watching HoJo at the plate back in the day! Switch hitter and threat at the dish and on the base paths. He struck out what was considered a lot at the time but in today’s game you wouldn’t even bat an eye about those strikeout numbers
-
Yessssssssss WTG and what I wouldn’t give for a HOJO milestone card

Here we go with that switch hitting hotel chain again LOL

You are correct. Who did he pass to become the all time single season record holder for strikeouts? And how many did that person have?

It's from back in the day when men were men and pitched well over 300 innings in a season. In a 4 man rotation to boot.
