I 92's Baseball Trivia....Need Some Hits!!!!!

  • Ironman92
    What player in baseball history has the biggest difference in career games played compared to career hits?

    Please make sure your answer has more career games than career hits!

    Ex.

    Reggie Jackson played in 2820 career games....he only had 2584 career hits....so his difference would be 236...which would be a pretty good guess...but not the answer.

    ANSWER is Jesse Orosco with a difference of 1242......won by dave

    PART 2 of the QUESTION....Name the 10 players in MLB history (no pitchers will be counted) that have played in at least 500 more career games than they have career hits.

    wow good question. guessing this is a catcher or middle infielder who was known for their D.

    I'll say Brad Ausmus.


    Is Pete the answer the opposite direction?
  • Ironman92
    Pete is wrong way at about -750ish

    Ausmus is not the answer........but he may fit the void for the 2nd part of my question...let me look at his numbers
  • Ironman92
    Ausmus is almost at 400....not quite though....excellent guess
  • Ironman92
    no one...ok, I can't wait around.....I'll be back later!

    Good luck with this one......it's a good one!

  • Ironman92
    Good job dave! Orosco is the answer at 1242.....now for the 2nd part of the question which you already gave answer #4 with Rafael Belliard



    Name the 10 players in MLB history (hitters only please) that have more than 400 more career games than career hits

    #4 is Rafael Belliard
  • Azubuike24
    Belliard is a great guess. It has to be someone who had a long career but played regularily for something other than hitting. My concern about Belliard would be games played.

    He didn't play a ton of games but he was like a career .230 hitter so it's very possible. My guess is it's going to be a catcher. Have to think on it for a little while and then will guess.
  • Ironman92
    lol...but yes
  • Ironman92
    There MAY be more than 10 over 400....but 10 is all I found

    #4 Rafael Belliard with 647

    Luiz Gonzalez is also the most impacted steroid user ever not to be considered a user.
  • Azubuike24
    I guess I'll throw out some answers. Thinking of guys who have been around but aren't very good average hitters or were usually utility players.

    Juan Castro
    Miguel Cairo
    Mickey Tettleton
    John McDonald
    Matt Stairs
    Jason Varitek
    Brad Ausmus
    Wes Helms
    Rey Sanchez
    Adam Dunn
    Darrell Porter
    Dave Kingman
    Russ Branyan
    Bill Hall
    Ty Wigginton
  • karen lotz
    Tim McCarver
  • Ironman92
    shit that is a lot of checking....all solid guesses....

    NONE of thsoe guys are on my list of 10 over 400.....but most of them look good enough to check on....ugh?

    I do know Dunn is in the 200's still and I'm going to say no way on Bill Hall......Cairo is pretty near 400 I believe but I rememeber him being a little short.

    Back in a few.
  • Ironman92
    Tim McCarver is my #10 at 408
  • karen lotz
    Matt Stairs for sure.
  • Ironman92
    Castro YES....502....an exceptoin....+1 for you

    Tettleton....no
  • Ironman92
    I know Kingman is short as well.
