Burks and Castilla also

Is this question over lol?

It might as well be.  Completely blew up in my face.

Here's apparently what we've got:

The triplets in Colorado (which might have made this question cool, if it had asked about three teammates)
Manny and Papi
A-Rod and Palmeiro
Griffey and A-Rod
Griffey and Buhner

Question #44

This HOFer has the biggest differential between career games minus career hits.

Most HOFers have more hits than games played

I assume we're excluding pitchers, here.

Oh yeah, a reliever would make more sense than a starter.

I came back here to guess this.  Pitched for a long time.  Appeared in a ton of games, but always in short stints.  Has to be him.  The differential might be in the thousands.

Now I wonder what the answer is without pitchers.

Same here man. The greatest player in the game and an electric player coming to play in his hometown Cincy .....ended up too good to be true or just a big bad luck jinx of injuries

Even as an Indians fan, I still believe Griffey was probably the best all around player since at least Willie Mays, if not all time.

 

Speed, defense in CF, hit for average, and hit for power. 

 

He would have put the HR record beyond Bonds' reach if not for injuries.

Question #45:

Between 1990 and 2010, four non-HOF players won the Silver Slugger award and the MVP in the same year year, despite having starting teammates with: more HRs, fewer SOs, a better slugging percentage, and a better on-base percentage.

Name them.

(I researched the hell out of this one to make sure it didn't turn into another dumpster fire question)
