Good question.  Too busy at work today to research it.
Gibson maybe??  Oh, Fuck...I have no clue.

Has to be.  He only saw 1 AB in the 88 series and we all know the resulting fist pumping.  Don't think he ever returned to the WS afterward

[ultimate7]

Correct it is Gibson, that was his only WS AB as a NL player, he also played in the '83 series with the Tigers.

[TβG]

84 series?    tigers padres?

[ultimate7]

Sorry, I meant '84 right.

[Stock]

Great question.  I emailed this to all of my college RBI buddies.  Still awaiting their responses.

It's a fuckin' easy question from an easy fella!

Easy to say after you see the answer









CHEATER

[JoeDirt]

You bastard!

I mean really, though, who doesn't know that Gibson's only appearance was PH duty in game one of the '88 series?

[ultimate7]

I did figure this one maybe too easy, but I don't see any other bastards coming up with any of these.  It's tough to make 'em difficult without making them impossible.

Off the top of my head, another easy-ish one:

Name the player who had more than twice as many career homeruns than career doubles.

No cheating.

[Mike D.]

Steve Balboni.

Without looking it up, I'd guess McGwire, since he was pretty much immobile and hit lots of homers.  Then again, it could be something wacky like a pitcher who happened to hit a few homers.

[Stock]

It has to be Mac.  He only had about 1600 career hits with almost 600 home runs.  I doubt that 30% of his remaining hits were doubles.

Another easy one.  Who was the first RBI'er to make $1M/season?

Nolan Ryan?

[Mike D.]

Rob Wilfong?

[BeefMaster]

I wonder how many RBIers have been the highest-paid player in baseball at any point.  I know Sandberg was in the early '90s, and I seem to recall Potatoes having that title at some point, too.

I think Nolan was the first $1M player - I wouldn't have remembered that if ultimate hadn't said it first, though.

That Stat is asstounding, I can't find anyone else who is close, so far Rob Deer has about 64% as many Double as HRs.  Even Balboni had 70%.
