Willets had to engage in some lawyering to win this thing, but he won it fair and square.

Thank you. Sorry for too much chat. I just thought it was funny that every time I hit submit I'd see my guess pop in another person's post.

Shawon Dunston?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ken Boyer?

[batmagadanleadoff]

It's Ken Boyer (2,143 hits, 192nd all time)

Dunston (1,597 hits) ranks 494th all-time. Dunston had four more hits than Gregg Jefferies.

I knew he was around a long time, but most of those 'around a long time' guys are before my time so I'm pretty crappy at figuring them out.
