Hmm ... no, I'm not. Not sure How I missed him.
Well hell. I'll take him. You obviously caught something I didn't.

The other was Bonds. Was never "suspended" for PEDs. We all know he used them, but there was no official suspension. His 2005 was derailed by "injury."
Oh, wait. I said they'd been out long enough to be eligible for the Hall. Beltran isn't. That's why he wasn't on that list.
I had my spreadsheet filtered by stats up to 2014, so the 2,300ish hits was how many he had up to that point.
My guess was Sheffield. Either he was suspended and I missed it, or he falls JUST short of 2,700. Because I watched him get 2,500 and he played a bit longer.

Just short. 2,689 hits over his career.

I wish Sheffield was HOF. So damn many of his cards ~120
Question #63:
If you can believe it, only three HOF hitters have ever had even one season in which they hit 55+ HRs and batted .350+. One of them never even won an MVP award.
They're all in the 1900s, don't worry.
Jimmie Foxx. Hank Greenberg?
Ruth has to have done it.

My two thoughts as well
Hack?
Hack Wilson or Maris are the only others who I can think of with that type of power (aside from 1990s on who I know didn’t do it)
posted by Laley23Jimmie Foxx. Hank Greenberg?
Yes to Double X. Foxx did it in '32.

Of course. He knocked 59 homers and hit .378 in '21.
posted by Ironman92Hack?
Yep. Never won an MVP (they didn't have it during his best year), but put up a .356 average and 56 homers in '30.

If you can believe it, Maris isn't in the Hall. His average wasn't that good, and it was mostly just the one year. I'm not sure he even cleared 300 homers on his career.
Back to back MVPs and 61 for Maris, but that's about it.

Yep. His actual career numbers are pretty pedestrian. Pat Burrell pedestrian.

I’ve worded it the best I could.
Did they play for the Dodgers their entire career?

Reread it...I changed wording
