Re: Off Season Baseball Trivia
There are only 5-6 guys who I have never heard of, so I think the true baseball heads may know some of the names, even if not where they were born.
ETA: Only three states leader has less than 100 home runs, and one of them (Plantier) has been guessed.

Re: Off Season Baseball Trivia
No on Erstad, but I bet I could post pictures of Erstad and the actual leader and no one could tell the difference.

Vaughn is correct, and that's a weird strategy.
Frank Thomas and Gibson Correct.

Re: Off Season Baseball Trivia
Also, Michigan is the state with a tie, so there is still a Michigan point available.

Re: Off Season Baseball Trivia
I knew it was one of the two and if I guess the wrong one, someone else could have jumped in.
Re: Off Season Baseball Trivia
Pretty sure I'm out unless Schilling is the only piece of shit from Alaska and he homered at some point.

Re: Off Season Baseball Trivia
No on schilling, but that's one that I only have the vaguest memory of and may indeed be not the person I am thinking of at all. There's still a few more big names out there so I will give it some time until after lunch then maybe provide some clues.
ETA: At least five not guessed were active at least as recently as 2018.
