Name the Player

[ultimate7]

Haven't done one of these in a while so here goes:

This RBIer was in both Arcade and NES, he was born in Rhode Island and will turn 60 this year.  He played infield and outfield and played in the post season with 3 different teams.  His NES RBI year was essential his last year (as he only had 43 AB the following year).

[Gantry]

Without cheating (which is oh so tempting) I am going to say Bobby Grich.  Don't remember if he was in the arcade version though...

[Ryno23]

I'll go with Bill Madlock.

[Ryno23]

I know the answer.  As soon as I gave my answer I thought, " no, i bet it is XXXX XXXXX."

[ultimate7]

Not Grich, not Madlock (neither were in Arcade)

[Gantry]

I can't think of anyone that was that old in 1986 or 1987, this should be easy...

Davey Lopes maybe?

[Ryno23]

ding, ding, ding!!!!

We have a winner.

[ultimate7]

Correct, I was quite suprised that he was born in Rhode Island.

[Gantry]

I was suprised he was that old...  He played a until he was 42-43 then, impressive...

[ultimate7]

Here's another, probably pretty easy:

This RBIer was born in Holland (I'm gonna assume he's the only one)

[ultimate7]

yup

[GreatScott]

This RBI legend had a career season in 96 for the Rockies.  He posted a .344 avg, hit 40 homers, drove in 128, and stole 32 bags. 

[ultimate7]

My only guess is Ellis Burks, I can't remember him playing for the Rockies, though.  I can't think of anyone else besides EDavis that would be fast enought to steal 30 and hit 40 9 years after RBI was made, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't Davis.

Along the same lines, this RBI stud had a cy young type year in 85',  winning 21 and posting 10 shutouts.  Unfortunately this player's greatness was overshadowed by that the doc's  (who was flat out unhittable that year).  

[GreatScott]

Excellent guess ultimate.  Good logic on that one.
