I think Albert Belle ended with 382-386 career HR....didn’t play that long. I’m guessing he might be the one not in the HOF

Gary Carter I think short of that 380 number hmmmm

Sheffield JUST went over I think. Pujols likely over. Frank Thomas seems a decent guess

Frank's a good guess, but he's in the 1300s.

Sheffield was barely 1100 or something, which was one of the lowest of the bunch to be over it.

I like this question...the 380 has to be a hint.

 

Yes it is.  The guy with fewer HRs didn't make the Hall.

Ripken

His count is in the 1300s.

Probably all those games he didn't miss.

Yeah, while his career finished after 1970, I wouldn't have phrase the question that way with his career where it was.

Vlad was such a boss. Probably my favorite non-Red of all-time.

Question #39

This team of the early 80’s had 5 future HOFers making up a big part of their team....they lost in the World Series to a team with 2 HOFers....name the teams and 7 HOFers....early 80’s.

Extra credit....one of these HOFers was injured late in the season and could’ve changed the WS outcome

Of my lifetime, probably mine too.  Hit for power and average, hardly ever struck out, didn't wear batting gloves, and practically bathed his bat and helmet in pine tar.

I'm guessing the '81 series, Dodgers over Yankees.  I couldn't name all the HOFers, though.

Ozzie
Whitey Herzog was the manager?
