1. I played on some notoriously bad teams. In fact, I played on nine consecutive last place teams, TWO in one year.

 

2. In my best season, I drove in nearly 25% of my teams run's, a percentage that has never been eclipsed. That same year I led my pathetic team in hits, HR's, and RBI's.

 

3. I played in three consecutive All-Star games.

 

4. On my biggest day at the dish, I hit five homers and drove in 13 runs, eclipsing Stan Musial's 11 RBI's in one day. Ironically, as a St Louis native, I attended the game the day Musial had his 11 ribbies .

1. I was known for my unusual stance at the plate; I choked up nearly halfway on the bat.

 

2. I was named to three All-Star teams and won two gold gloves.

 

3. In '75 I appeared in all 162 of my team's games.

 

4. I was essential in helping Joe Torre to set a record. Torre grounded into four double plays in a single game. I singled ahead of him four times and was erased on his groundouts each time.

 

5. My career ended prematurely. Thank you very much Ed Ott.

1. "Some men give their bodies to science; I give mine to baseball."

 

2. I was well known for getting plunked by pitches - 3 times in a single game once, 50 times(yes fifty) in a single season with the Expos. When I was a Giant, I once quipped, "Why would you hit me to face Mays and McCovey."

 

3. I was the Mets very first All-Star and was second to Pete Rose for Rookie of the Year honors.

 

4. I was one of the hardest players to strike out over a career. I whiffed only about 7% of the time over my 12 year career.

 

5. I was never known for my homerun power but I took Bob Gibson deep for the only run in support of Gayord Perry's no-hitter.

Was his last name King? I don't remember any pitcher with that last name from the 70's. There was Ray King from the the 2000's' date=' but he was black[/quote']

 

Not King.

Randy Moffett.

 

Correct

Any guesses on who was the human beanbag?

I was the last switch hitter to win the AL MVP

 

Eddie Murray who I'm not sure won an MVP and Mickey Mantle are the first two that come to mind.

I will give everyone a big hint on this one. Commissioner Bowie Kuhn once nixed a proposed trade of this guy to the from the A's to the Redlegs!!!
