Howard Johnson?

There you go. Ho Jo.....wasn’t a big name very long but for 3-4 years he was a big time player. Didn’t do much before or after.

Question #158

This player has scored more runs than any other player in MLB history that is not in the HOF and is eligible AND no steroid association.

Is it Damon?

1st in runs, 2nd in hits

1669 and 2769

Hell of a career and not a breath of HOF thought

I was actually reading articles about him not being in last week, too.  Apparently, he's pretty salty about it.

Question #159:

This non-HOF outfielder is the only MLB player since 1936 to have at least three at-bats in over 300 straight games.

He spent 16 of his 17 seasons in southern California and finished top-5 in ROY and MVP voting once each.  Was an absolute double machine for a few years, posting 36+ doubles in seven straight seasons.

That's him.

I was shocked to find out that part about consecutive games with at least three at-bats.

Should’ve gotten more consideration. But just not enough power. Which can be offset if you play C, CF, 2B or SS at an all-time level. But he didn’t, and was probably a net negative in the field.

Per BR, his lifetime dWAR is indeed -2.0.

Question #161:

In the last 50 years, there have only been three players to pull off a streak of 60+ games reaching base on either a hit, walk, or HBP.

Two of them are not in the Hall: Orlando Cabrera (63 games) and Mark McGwire (61).

Who is the lone HOF slugger to join them?
