One paired guess (Franchise/Player) at a time. 3 points for correct team, 5 more for correct player.

Rays // Evan Longoria

[Frayed Knot]

So sorry. Longoria IS the Rays all-time HR hitter but his total clocks in at 261, nine higher than Straw/Mets

HUH?

Vlad hit 234 HR as an expo and no expo hit more.

Am I missing a rule here?

Except that that's two consecutive guesses so I rescind the 8 points.

yankees babe ruth

[Frayed Knot]

For the fewest HRs to lead a franchise????

What have you been drinking ... and can I have some?



Yhe question on the table is: For which two franchises does their leading career HR hitter have fewer HRs than Darryl Strawberry's 252 for the Mets?

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Perhaps the Marlins with Giancarlo Stanton?

[Frayed Knot]

That's an answer, but not the right answer for the question.

[Gwreck]

Colbert used to be the correct answer, so he must have been overtaken by…Manny Machado.

[Frayed Knot]

So with the first part of the quiz solved, and GWreck leading Chad 5 points to 3, it's on to phase two



Who has the most HRs for a franchise AND hit ALL his HRs for just that one club?

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Would that be Mike Schmidt and the Phillies?

[Frayed Knot]

Yes it would

In addition to the Phillies and Schmidt, Twelve other players hit all their HRs for one team and also hold that franchise's all-time HR record.

Have at it.

Killebrew was a Kansas City Royal at the end of his career.



How about Ernie Banks and the Cubs?
