Baseball Trivia

  Watching Baseball Tonight, and they had this question. If you were watching, dont give away the answer. I got 3 of the 4.
  
  Name the 4 players who have hit a HR in 4 different decades.
• Sonofanump

  Rickey might be one since he started his career in 1979.
• Sonofanump

  I think Ty Cobb would also be possible.
• Sonofanump

  If it was on baseball tonight, I am going to guess a current player and I think Vizquel is the oldest position player and might have started his career in the 80's.
• hasbeen

  

  The babe/ teens, twenties, thirties, forties? Not sure if he played in the forties.
• Sonofanump

  Not Ruth, he was done in the mid 30's.
• Sonofanump

  Rickey is correct, Viquel (has not hit a HR in the 2010's) and Cobb wrong.
• wildcats20

  

  My first thought was Junior. But he only played in 3 decades.

  Mark Lemke
• Rotinaj

  

  Pokey Reese.
• Laley23

  

  Yep.
  
  Its Little O, Teddy Ballgame, McCovey and Rickey Henderson.
  
  Williams and Henderson were easy, imo, McCovey was a correct guess, and I was wrong on Harmon Killebrew (had no clue when he started or ended his career lol). I missed Omar, but when it was said it was kind of a duh. Only cause Ive looked at his stats so often, I knew he started in 89 and is still playing...
• wildcats20

  

  I had to look up McCovey. So not really a guess lol

  Either way, correct.
  
  I had orginally guessed McCovey, Rickey, Teddy and Killebrew. They only have 1 commercial break between question and answer so I didnt even have time to look them up. But I doubt Omar would have entered my head anyway.

  Griffey played in 4 decades. Started sometime in the late 80s and retired early in the 2010 season.

  Would've guessed Fisk over McCovey

  He only played two games in 1969. A lot of the people you would think of (Rose, Yaz, Mays) had their start near the beginning of a decade.

  Yeah, I don't know what I was looking at.

  Still would've guessed it....knew he played in 4 decades....Tim McCarver and Bill Buckner barely made it I think.....not sure Buckner had any at bats in the 60's....but got in some games.

  Jamie Moyers has allowed 25+ homers in 4 decades now.
  
  68 in the 1980's
  153 in the 1990's
  270 in the 2000's
  25 in the 2010's
• karen lotz

  

  How many of those are the result of stolen signs from runners at second base I wonder?
