The ones who come to my mind are all too old (Posey, Panda, McCutcheon, Tulowitski). But, Giancarlo Stanton. (looked it up, he's the last on your table.)

eta: and Gunpowder beat me to that one.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

Just to make sure it's not some easy one, is McCutchen in his year 30 season?

Looked it up. Was not going to guess that.

(Not that it's an obscure name - I'm assuming Mr. D is ok with that very slight mini hint).

Hosmer's only 27?

So, someone who started at like 21 with 150 hits a year? Adam Jones? Longoria?

Super unpredictable career path from here. His top 10 comps through age 28 are all over the damn map ...

Would be star who never approached pre-28 peak:
1. Ruben Sierra
9. Eric Chavez
(These are out given Upton's line this season)

Up-and-down for a few more years but done before 35:
4. Greg Luzinski
5. Johnny Callison
8. Del Ennis
10. Boog Powell

Also done before 35, but maybe TJU is already historically better than we think?:
6. Ron Santo

Like a lot better?:
3. Adrian Beltre

A lot, lot better?:
7. Carl Yastrzemski

Too far:
2. Barry Bonds

Me too, I looked. I'd bang out 1-4 pretty easy and then maybe 2 more.

Ah, yes. I had about 28 of his rookie Don Russ cards thinking I'd never have to work a day in my life when his career was over.

From Sporcle...Who is missing from this list of the top extra inning home run hitters of all time?

1. Willie Mays
2. ?????
3. Frank Robinson
4. Babe Ruth
5. Albert Pujols
6. Hank Aaron
7. Mickey Mantle
8. Mark McGwire
9. David Ortiz
10. Rafael Palmeiro
11. Jim Thome
12. Willie Stargell
13. Barry Bonds
14. Chipper Jones
15. Harmon Killebrew

As you can probably guess, you ain't getting this unless you know it. So here's a hint - he played from 1975 to 1992

18 year careers aren't normal but that's still not enough of a hint. And Ruben Sierra didn't debut in 1975, dude.
