You only got one shot.

Gibby.

Because you can't get him out.

This is a trick question.  It depends on how the pitcher is doing.

Tired pitcher - Reggie Jackson
Fresh pitcher - Reggie Jackson

GoReds pitching to me - Matt Nokes or Ozzie Smith.

Da Evans...

Alex Rodriguez

kent hrbek has major pop, love that guy

GREAT screen name for this guy.

Chili Davis, he's my boy.

Anyone but Pat Sheridan.

You just watch your mouth, mister

I'm surprised mine is the only vote for Jimmy Rice.  I'm also surprised how easy this was for me to answer.

Mr. October all the way. 4 pitches-4bombs in one game for me.

Reg is ridic but I just don't like lefties against righty pitchers, especially curveball specialists like krukow and blyleven.

I can't believe Dingleberry hasn't received a vote. Sad :'(

I like the way this puhl is going...

Look at the situation for god's sake.  First of all it's a rightie pitching, which in RBI (ATG style anyway) means rightie hitters preferred.  Second, it's the 9th inning with two outs, trailing by one -- you just need to get on base!  Why vote for someone who gets thrown out at first by the right fielder, I can't fathom how Reggie is winning this thread.  For shame, Dee-Nee.  For shame.

Incidentally Don Baylor was a no-brainer for me.

Jack Clark - he's usually good for me, and going along with what Octo said, if Clark gets a single, it's likely that he can score two with the speedy guys ahead of him.

The only correct answer is Jim Rice.  Also, it should be factored in that Rice bats ahead of Baylor...so if Rice singles in one run, then there's still a nice bat waiting...

burks baby burks

Joe, what about speed when you absolutely must must must reach base?  Nomaaa seems to have the right idea.

If you're gonna go for a rightie, you gotta take Baylor over Rice.  I doubt the Puhl creator intended the other team-related hypotheticals to be factored in (such as who the runners on base might be and who would be on deck for that batter, etc.), but even still...

Edit: if it had been a leftie pitcher I would have gone with Strwby.

My friend Octo: I don't think speed should be factored in much more than avoidance of being thrown out at 1B from RF.  The fact of the matter is, even if Coleman can beat out an infield hit, the fielder can go to any of the other bases.

Also, the fact of the matter is that it is better to have Rice up with Baylor on deck than it is to have Baylor up with Evans on deck...that must be accounted for.

The correct answer is still Kirk Gibson.

I agree with this guy and like the zeal, however Reggie is pretty fast in RBI unlike real baseball.  I steal bases with him all the time.

Wrong, while Reggie is not horribly slow if you are stealing bases with him the people you are playing must really suck

Also, the correct answer to this puhl is Dawson, but for some reason he was left off.

I voted for Baylor, but Burks, Rice, and possibly Trammell and Brunansky would be acceptable to have voted for.  Voting for Lefties is only OK if you assume straight pitch style.

Where's Matt Nokes?

Because All-Star teams don't count.

what about burks with armas on deck?

That's nice, but unless PH gets to count for the puhl, I'd still rather have Rice with Baylor to follow.  If there was 0 outs in the scenario, however, I'd probably agree Burks with Armas, Boggs, Rice, Baylor to follow.

Armas.

I'm ready to take the enforcer role against all Pat Sheridan haters...even though he can sick up for himself and put a world of hurt on nay-sayers

How the hell did 3 people vote for Hrbek
