One of my co-workers hit me with this today. He couldn't remember the name of the player...but he knew he was the last guy to bat at County Stadium - which is how I knew who it was.

Here's another fun baseball trivia question:
There are 4 players who hit more than 500 home runs in the career who played their first - and last - MLB games in the same town...but with different teams. Who are they?

Re: MLB 2018
I'll award half points for that answer as Reggie played his first and last games with the same franchise - but in different cities. First game was with the Kansas City Athletics and final game was with the Oakland Athletics.Inder wrote: ↑10 Oct 2018, 7:32pmReggie Jackson?WestwayKid wrote: ↑10 Oct 2018, 7:26pmThat's 2 of the 4.tepista wrote: ↑10 Oct 2018, 7:25pmBabe Ruth and Hank Aaron for sure.WestwayKid wrote: ↑10 Oct 2018, 7:23pmHere's another fun baseball trivia question:

Nah, I've mellowed enough that I hope the Leafs (or, sigh, the Jays) get over the top in your near-lifetime.
