No, surprisingly.

No to both, but...

This will get tiresome for us both.

Jim Thome - IL
Harmon Killebrew - WY

Thome correct, still no on Killebrew

Tennessee: Todd Helton?

Hel yes!

I think Killebrew is Idaho.

Carwash with the steal!

Bagwell - Massachusetts
Schmidt - Ohio
Junior - Pennsylvania

I'll accept but only two per!

All are correct.

Nebraska - Alex Gordon?

Ding ding!

I've seen something like this before and Hawaii was Mike somebody....I think. Anybody know any Hawaiian Mikes?

SC - Fred McGriff

No on Crime Dog (born in FL) and Hawaii is already answered. Kurt Suzuki.

Hint Time:

These states' leader is in the Hall of Fame:

Washington
New Mexico
Texas
Louisiana
Wisconsin
South Carolina
Indiana
West Virginia

All of them have at least 307 home runs.

Jim Rice is from South Cack-o-lacky.

And is correct!

Struggling with the rest. Probably old timers.

Albert Belle’s Cajun, right?

All are correct.

Give me Aaron back.

Frank Robinson - Texas?

Robinson is correct

Positions added to these HOF states:

Washington (3B)
New Mexico (LF)
Louisiana (RF)
Wisconsin(LF/CF)
Indiana (1B)
West Virginia(3B)

Wyoming - Mike Devereaux?
Arkansas - Arky Vaughn?

No on Devereax. That's one that I had heard of only because he played in Lexington in the minors, but not for the team currently affiliated with the Legends. However his career was predominately with the team now associated with the legends.

No on Vaughn as well, but he was from arkansas! Whoulda thunk it?!?!

West Virginia - George Brett

North Dakota – Roger Maris.

New Mexico - Ralph Kiner?

IN - Mattingly?

Edit: nm, he's not in the HOF

Brett and Kiner are correct.

Arkansas-Brooks Robinson?
Never mind, he's in the Hall.

Ron Santo - Washington

And I never got a ruling on Albert Belle being Cajun (well, except for that I know he is, just wondering if he's LA)...

Louisiana - Toe Nash

Additional Hints for non-HOF states:

North Carolina - Has played his whole career with one team and was active in 2019
Kentucky - Twice led the league in strikeouts and really looks like someone who was from Kentucky
Missouri - Also played whole career with one team and was a ROY and MVP
Arizona - Can form his name by adding two letters to a player already named in an adjacent state
Oregon - A true two true outcomes guy. He didn't walk.

Santo Correct, Albert Belle not in the HOF and a full 130 HR's behind LA's leader.

I accidentally stumbled across West Virginia. Had no idea he was born there.

Current Standings

Mr. D - 7
Rex - 5
Ryan - 5
EnochRoot -5
Brian - 3
Carwash - 2
GoodKarma -2
