this is much harder. Is Rickey one of them?

Yes, Rickey is one, the others are a bit tougher

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Tim Raines has to be one of them...

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Is my favorite player of all time Willie Mays one of them?

 

[Heim]

There are only two players I can think of off the top of my head that played 4 decades....Henderson is one and Ted Williams the other. If Williams did it he probably only had a handful each decade because I don't think the Sox wanted him getting hurt.

 

[Gabe]

If someone can get this without looking it up, more power to them.

 

[Valuist]

Minnie Minoso?

 

[kane]

Tim Raines has to be one of them...

Raines is one, Mays was a good guess but incorrect

Spot on Heim, Teddy Ballgame is correct, and he only had something like 25 steals in his career.

Julio Franco?

I almost said him. I looked him up. Stole two bases at age 48. But only played in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.

 

[kane]

Not Minoso, Franco, or Rose, but all are good guesses

Here's one: this player had a breakout season in the late 80s: .334 BA, slugged over .600 and over 1.000 OPS. 26 home runs. He only played in the National League, with 3 teams. He never played an MLB game after 1992.

Trivia 2: Frank Robinson, Joe Morgan and Willie Stargell have one thing in common. That would be?

 

[Gabe]

Pedro Guerrero

 

[Valuist]

Pedro Guerrero

Nope, but one of the 3 teams this guy played for was the Dodgers.

 

[Gabe]

Guerrero played for Dodgers and retired in 92 and I'm wrong? I know my boy had a big year around the late 80s too, kinda one year wonder season.

WOW I'm disappointed, lol. Thought I nailed it.

Here's another one:

What well known rapper was given his moniker by Reggie Jackson?

MC Hammer.

 

[Valuist]

MC Hammer.

Bingo.

As for the other question, I would have to look up your answer but it wasn't what I was looking for.

 

[kane]

MC Hammer.

Hammer was once a bat boy for the A's

 

[Brayden11]

Hammer was once a bat boy for the A's

Yep. Reggie said he looked like Hank Aaron so hence the name.

 

[Gabe]

Hammer was a major douche when he was at hollywood park to watch lite lite run. Guy acted like his shit didn't stink.

 

[Valuist]

He was living the high life. When Lite Light faced off against Meadow Star in New York, he and Carl Icahn had a $150k side bet as to which of their fillies would win. Hammer won.

Of course when one has a giant entourage and throws away money on things like a gold plated toilet, it was only a matter of time before the impending bankruptcy filing.
