Is the 50's Tim McCarver?
Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
This is really freaking hard beyond the current one. The question is basically "What really good players debuted in years ending in 9?"

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Right. I'm not even bothering with those because it would just be three pages of me naming guys I remember being old on the field at some point.
Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
I would guess Omar Vizquel for the 80's.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Henderson is correct for the 1970's.
Vizquel is correct for the 1980's.
Beltre is correct for the 1990's.
For McCarver: Yes for the 1950's. Technically there were two guys for the 1950's, but McCarver's last "season" was really just a cameo of a few games. Also looking for another guy whose career ended the same year but was a more regular player.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
No for Pete Rose as the 60's player.
The 60's player is well-known but I hadn't realized his career started that early.

He debuted June 19, 1972. So I doubt it.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Reuschel was 1972-91 (also a pitcher so wrong either way). The guy I'm looking for had a few years on either side.
Still looking for the other 1950's guy as well.

All I got for the 60's is Reggie Jackson, but that can't be right.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Reggie is incorrect.
The '60s guy had his "official" rookie season in '72, but appeared in a handful of games in '69 and '71.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Is the other 50s guy Stretch McCovey?
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Hint on the 1960s: He was mentioned in Good Will Hunting as the hitter who waved the ball fair in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series.
Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Vic Davalillo 1960s? I still remeber his late game hit that beat the Phillies in 1978 that cost them a trip to the World Series
