Pretty sure they played the Cardinals.

Ozzie
Whitey Herzog was the manager?
 

Yep....Cardinals had a top fireman, as did the Brewers

Wait, Fingers was in that Brewers team! Missing one, as I assume it’s that WS now.

So we have

Brewers: Fingers (injured in late season), Yount, Molitor

Cards: Ozzie and Herzog

Need 2 more Brewers and 1 more Card

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.

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 were injured late in the season and could’ve changed the WS outcome

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

 

Nope, doesn’t fit the criteria

Yep, former Cards star and Cards traded and picked up Darrel Porter who fans hated...until he became WS MVP. Cards also had 283 win Jim Katt and former MVP Keith Hernandez

Fingers won Cy in 81 and was killing it in 82 but tore muscle in late August and badly weakened their bullpen.

1st WS I watched

2020 by Veterans committee. Only reason I knew of him, tbh. Saw a Tweet about him and hits as a catcher. Forget how high he is on list, but 2400 has to be close to top 3.

I'm not familiar with him, really. I've heard the name, but didn't realize he was in the HOF.

Question #40:

This NON-Hall of Famer hit 35+ HRs in seven different seasons, topping 40 HRs five of those seasons.

He finished his 17-year career with a batting average between .290 and .300, over 400 HRs, six Silver Slugger awards, and two MVP awards.  He is top-20 all-time in career slugging percentage.

I wasn't even familiar with the name, but I remembered it from hearing about the ceremony.  I thought it was last year, but apparently not.

Albert Belle
Juan Gonzalez
Manny Ramirez

I know it's not Sosa or McGwire given the AVG requirement.
