This NES RBIer's best season was far and away 1979 when he hit .313 for the Twins with 419 ABs. He got 300 or more ABs only 3 other times in his career never hitting over .250 in any of those seasons and had 3 other seasons of hitting under .220 (all had at least 200 ABs).

His RBI year was his last "full" season as he retired in 1987 after playing in only 2 games with the SF Giants.

I just cheated and looked it up - I knew the team but could only remember two of the other players, neither of whom were in RBI. I don't know why I thought Randolph played for either that team or the A's, though; he was the only one I could think of who was old enough and played infield, I guess.

Title: Re: Name the Player
Post by: ultimate7 on 02/22/07, 11:53:39 AM

I assume they would have to have been named for someone's sibling.

The youngest RBIer (Santiago) would have been 16 in 1981, wouldn't the little leaguers be in the 12-13 range for age.

Anyhow, I'll guess Will Clark

Title: Re: Name the Player
Post by: ultimate7 on 02/22/07, 12:44:16 PM

Based on some quick research, the parents are parents of a current MLB player, not of a little leaguer (Jose Valentin's parents won in 2006), so the RBIer in question was playing in 1981.

from my memory: greg brady is pitching for his school team or something (grey uni's w/ green trim, bears(?)). i think drysdale is a client of mike brady's and comes to the house to give greg pointers on pitching. the episode aslo features actual gameplay of what's supposed to be greg's team. i believe this was probably filmed around the time of drysdale's and koufax's holdout (maybe?).
