I really rallied in the late innings there.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Still missing two guys from the current decade, two World Series participants, two guys who never made the playoffs, two teammates of Ed, and the big time award winner.

[Theoldmole]

Another unlikely to be broken record -- AL outfielder Rick Bosetti, who set himself the goal of peeing in every outfield in the AL, in fair territory, during a game.

[Theoldmole]

A check in Baseball Reference reveals that he managed to christen every big league ballpark, including the NL ones, although his NL career was brief -- and, oddly, at the beginning of his major league tenure.

[seawolf17]

Is the major award winner Jon Matlack?

A dubious record,why ever would he do such a thing...amazing.

[Guest sharpie]

Cal Koonce
Danny Heep

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Can't be Matlack, since the clue indicates he won the award for another team. That guy is Jeff Kent!

My guesses:
Kent
Craig Swan
Joe McEwing
Ty Wigginton

I was over there earlier and my "random met" was Shawon Dunbston. WTF is up with that portrait?!?

No. The major award was won while the player was with another team.

No and no.

No, no, no, and no.

Kent, in 77th place, has four wins.

Swan won once and McEwing three times.

Wiggy has never won the day, but he's not in the top ten.

Of the six remaining guys, two are pitchers, four are not.

[Benjamin Grimm]

="Johnny Dickshot"]

Ewww. That is weird! I wonder where I got that from.

[seawolf17]

Ah, details. Sometimes I don't do so much reading.

The award winner is Orel Hershiser? And how about Todd Pratt as one of the WS participants?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Orel would have been correct if we were doing Top Twenty. (He's at number 16.)

Pratt won the day once.

Oops: A correction. We're still missing THREE World Series guys. The original count was six and we've accounted for Millan, Ventura, and Knight.

Both of the current decade guys are World Series guys.

The award winner is a never-in-the-postseason guy.

One of Ed's remaining two teammates played in the World Series. The other never hit the postseason.

[DocTee]

Melvin Mora

[Benjamin Grimm]

Not Melvin Mora. Never won the day, but too far down on the list.

[DocTee]

Roberto Alomar?

withdrawn. I don;t even get the question

[HahnSolo]

Turk Wendell
Frank Viola

Wendell, no. Viola... YES!

Mike Hampton

[HahnSolo]

Rick Reed

[Benjamin Grimm]

Not Rick Reed. And Hampton just missed.

Here are spots 11 through 20:

83 Mike Hampton
86 Neil Allen
93 Rickey Henderson
94 Rafael Santana
96 Rick Aguilera
102 Orel Hershiser
104 Butch Huskey
106 Lance Johnson
113 Don Hahn
116 Steve Henderson


So you can eliminate any of these guys from your guesses.

One of the missing five is in a very exclusive group with Rick Reed and Mike Hampton and one other guy.
