    Who was the only player to play in each of the cities the Braves were located (Boston, Milwaukee, Atlanta)? He was also on the cover of the first Sports Illustrated magazine.

    Pretty sure that's Eddie Matthews.

    The original Baltimore Orioles are now which team?

    New York Yankees.

    Follow up-What TWO other names have the current Orioles been known as?
    FYI, nobody finished this one...Ani pointed out that they were known as the St. Louis Browns. But in 1901 they were known as the Milwaukee Brewers. They moved to St. Louis in 1902 or 1903. The AL started with a team in Milwaukee.

    It's got to be one of the relatively newer franchises.

    Tampa Bay?

    Nope, the Rays record streak is 12 games. But you are warm with your first comment.

    You'd think McGuire would be on that list as well.

    I had to look up McGwire. 74th all time, 7 RBI's more than Canseco which is fitting having them together on the list.

    Gah, I feel like an idiot for forgetting Musial and Mays.

    I didn't realize Murray had accrued that many. Shouldn't be surprising though since he was pretty consistent and played like 20+ years.

    I thought I saw that Carlos Beltran was the leader as of this year. Perhaps he was caught a few times....OR, he started playing 2B....OR, I am wrong. ;)

  • HesCalledDyerHesCalledDyer Maryland Posts: 16,456
    Utley is correct. He's 144/164 = 87.8%. Beltran is a close 2nd though, 311/360 = 86.4% (F Me, the stat you saw may have been for a higher number of attempts.)

    Ahh, OK, cool. Utley. Would never have guessed, although others here did.
