Baseball game

Guys from San Pedro de Macoris who won a Silver Slugger.

Bingo! Your turn.

Awesome! I was waiting to post my challenge but wasn’t sure if it was something even more precise than that.

Anyway:

Ryan Freel
Marcus Thames

Nobody? I’ll add:

Brandon Larson

Major leaguers who played in the minors for 10 years?

Ha, true, but I was thinking about something more notable. Perhaps marginally more notable, but whatever.

Think career milestones. Brandon Larson has had so few that it should be a cinch now!

Well, Freel and Thames both hit their first HR off of Randy Johnson, but Larson’s first was off Bobby Jones; although his fourth was off Johnson

Well shit, you are absolutely right. I was indeed going for the Randy Johnson link, but I unintentionally obfuscated the right answer with Larson. My apologies.

I’ll toss out a gimme

Darryl Kile
Joe Cowley

Pitchers who threw a no-hitter?

On the right track, but I’m looking a little more specific.

EDIT: Dean Chance is another one.

Is there a third?

Dean Chance, from my edit.
Bob Feller

threw a no-hitter that wasn’t a shutout

Yup.

Tony Gwynn
Babe Ruth

Players who hit .372 in a single season and were inducted into the Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility with at least 95% of the vote? :smiley:

Don’t forget the “fat lefthanded hitter” part. :smiley:

So close in that the answer also involves words. Gil Hodges
