Norris Rutledge

Yeah, Norris was never the truely prolific HR hitter. He has had four 40/40 seasons (with two more 39/40 seasons) and eight 30/30 seasons.

I thought Noboru might have, but he was 49/50 and 50/30.

Honestly didnt think it was that hard! We should know who our 50-50s guys are!

bumping this one up for a new question!! I added recte and tyler to the leaderboard for each getting part of Q7 right. As always, please quote the initial post so I can keep track of the questions answered. This one also has 2 answers, and no minimum AB requirement as it is based on all time stats.

I'm going to go with Charles Puckett and out of left field...Manny Aguiliar.

I figured someone would guess aguilar, but you are 0/2.

3. Charles Puckett
130. Manny Aguilar

QUESTION 8
Entering the 2039 season, which 2 players were tied for most all-time offensive WAR/season?

Gillstrom and Steve Collins?

I wanted to say Puckett and Kengos because I know they at the top of WAR leaderboards but they played forever and I don't remember how good their defensive numbers were

I'll go with DH Frank Thomas III.

My figuring is that he had zero defensive WAR, so it all had to come from his bat.

Tyler gets the two-fer!! Collins will have the lead after this season but gillstrom will probably still be in 2nd. Here are the top 10 all time as well as the number of seasons played.

1. Jared Gillstrom 7.45 (13)
1. Steve Collins 7.45 (17)
3. Charles Puckett 6.59 (25)
4. Rogelio Morales 6.55 (21)
5. Rafael Rodriguez 6.33 (20)
6. Mark Simpson 5.97 (9)
7. Ross White 5.68 (13)
8. Peter Pete 5.64 (7)
9. David Noboru 5.58 (9)
10. Angel Zalapa 5.57 (3)

Bopper is T13 at 5.49 with Roman Empire.

FT3 is T74 with fellow HOFer Mitch Dalrymple at 4.28

I should have clarified that I meant offensive WAR as in not pitching. I believe it factors in defense.

bumping for Q9, this one is a tough one.

Also tyler has taken over the lead from Ron on the basis of nailing both parts of Q8.

Damned Tyler.

I dont know. Gotta be these boarderline HOFers who have big power numbers. I am going to guess

Joe Belinda and Rafael Bido

The Wilson guy from California maybe one.

Bido didn't meet either category and Belinda did have fewer than 1000 singles but also fewer than 1000 EBH.

Billy Wilson is indeed one of them.

Chamberlain? He was like Hahn but with even more power and without the walks. Pretty much XBH or bust. I know his average was below .250 and his XBH was close to 1000 (not sure if he had enough 2B/3B to get over that threshold off the top of my head)

Yep, 66% of his hits went for extra bases so he is your answer.
