Tomorrow's Kwiz Today

[Edgy MD]

Let's stick with Venezuela, only going with hitters this time. Name the top 10 Venezuelan home run hitters, along with the top five Venezuelan base stealers in MLB history.

• One guess per post.


• No guessing in consecutive posts.


• If you have received an answer from the quizmaster, you may guess/post again, even if no one else has answered.


• Please specify, in your guess if you are guessing a player on the Slugger list or the Speedster list.


• In the spirit of the title of this thread, feel free to think on it overnight and guess tomorrow.


• Yadda, yadda, yadda ... good luck!

[DocTee]

I'll say Bobby Abreu makes both lists.

[Edgy MD]

One guess per post, Homes.

[Edgy MD]

Ah, but what the hell? Bobby is indeed a double-edged sword of Venezuelan-ness.

Tony Armas Jr. power

[Edgy MD]

Among Venezuelan-born MLB players, Tony Armas, Jr., is tied for 209th with zero home runs.



He did, however have one triple.

[MFS62]

Whoops!

My bad.

I meant Tony Armas the hitter. (sr?) his dad.

Later

[Edgy MD]

Yes, Tony Armas, father of Tony Jr. and brother of Marcos, makes our list with 251 homers

I don't know, but ...

Melvin Mora. Power



Later

[Edgy MD]

Melvin is just outside the money, tied for 12th in homers by a Major Leaguer from Venezuela, with 171.



I don't have complete data, but I believe he is additionally the all-time leader in quintuplets by a Major Leaguer from Venezuela, with five. Six kids total.

[MFS62]

Nertz.

I was on a roll.

Asdrubal Cabrera? power.

Later

[Edgy MD]

Asdrubal, for now, is 10th all time with 195 homers.
