I have no idea.  I misread Justin's "Morgan" guess and assumed it was a pitcher I wasn't thinking of.

What is the longest post-1950 career spent with a single team for a non-Hall of Famer, and who was it?

Not a bad guess at 15 years, but not quite.

Did McCarver play anywhere other than St Louis?

Had a brief stint in Montreal and actually several years for Philly, apparently.

Five, if you can believe it.

Most of it was end-of-career time, though he still saw a considerable amount of playing time.

Sweet Lou it is!  19 years with the Tigers.

Though I actually just found out Dave Concepcion also spent the same number of years with the Reds for his entire career, so either answer would have worked.

I had forgotten that Baines played for the Tribe. Looked at his stats and in 1999, he hit one homer for them.

Question #43:

Since 1965 (when Mays and McCovey did it), five pairs of teammates each hit 40 HRs in the same season TWICE.  Name those teammates.

McGuire and Canseco.

Not quite, though they averaged it one year.  Their closest year, McGwire hit 49, and Conseco hit 31.
