This sounds like a Jeter stat line, but I'm not sure you could say he aged quickly.

Robbie Alomar, maybe?

Also Jeter blew past/hit all those numbers except steals I think.

But Robbie seems correct. Went from top-5 MVP in Cleveland to basically out of the league in a year and a half. He wasn’t the same player following Cleveland in 2001.

Question #197

This former offensive stud had a huge season at age 31, yet another top 5 MVP....through age 31 he was only a few HR shy of 400, nearly 1300 RBI....he was destined for 575 or so HR and 1800-1900 RBI....and pushing near 3000 hits. He never got anywhere near any of those numbers and the sure fire HOFer dropped off pretty hard and career ended not many years later.

Name this non-HOFer

First though was Carlos Delgado, until the second part. Pretty sure he was never pushing 3000 hits

This guy didn’t either but would’ve had he played as long as most guess/expect

Never would’ve touched near 3000 or probably not 2409 but HR/RBI fits....but no

Justice? I can’t go back much further than early-mid 90s for guys that ended up not great.

Delgado had 3 seasons 114+ rbi from age 33-36....he fell short a year maybe 2 of my expectations

Belle started almost exactly same time as the answer but was a few years older. Belle had the huge age 31 year but played 2 more years and they were also big years
