I was a pitcher mostly with the Braves and Reds throughout my career. I won only 113 games in 12 seasons, but I left my mark in 1966 when I hit two grand slams in the same game. Who am I? |

I never led the league in any major batting category throughout my career, but I was an all-star shortstop 16 times in my career. I was also won 13 Gold Gloves. So, that was pretty much it for me, but I made the Padres regret my trade. Who am I? |

I didn't have a stellar career and played mostly with the Dodgers. I had one season that stood out in my career, and broke Ty Cobb's record of 96 stolen bases set in 1915 when I ripped off 104 in 1962 which gave me the NL MVP award. This was pretty much the only highlight in my career. Who am I? |

I quietly played eight of my 15 seasons with the Oakland Athletics. I was a catcher but also played first base. I really didn't shine in any season, and never hit .300 in any full season of baseball. My only all-star season was in 1975. But, when it came to the 1972 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds, I banged out four home runs in the series, winning the MVP award. And I only played 82 games in that season too! Who am I? |

Throughout my career mostly with the Indians, I played a multitude of positions. I had to my credit, shortstop, second base, first base, third base, and even catcher. I even won the 1948 AL MVP. I was an eight-time all-star in my 15-season career, but nobody ever gave me credit for my accomplishments. Even still, I was the first player in history to hit five extra base hits in one game. Who am I? |

At the age of 24, I played for the St. Louis Cardinals. However, it was only one game and my only at-bat, then my career ended in the same season in 1936. I just didn't have it. 18 years later I emerged as a National League manager. I began a streak of 23 consecutive seasons with the same franchise, and took them to seven World Series appearances. Who am I? |

My Major League career was short and sweet. I played only one season in 1953 with the St. Louis Browns. Although I won only three games in my entire career, one of them was a no-hitter, so I left my mark in baseball and left the fans wondering why it was my only season. Who am I? |

I was an eight-time Gold Glove at second base with the Pirates and went to seven all-star games. I never led the league in any major batting category, and my glove was barely recognized to the fans. Then it happened! I won a World Series with a bottom of the ninth inning World Series home run. Who am I? |

Like a Braves pitcher after me, I hit also hit two grand slams in the same game, but I was the first in history to do it. I was a Yankee second baseman which makes it even more special because nobody recognized me for my batting power in 1936. Who am I? |

Very few people remember me on the 1920s and 1930s Yankees because of the great Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. 10 times in my 12 seasons I hit over .300, but only led the league in hits in 1927. Believe it or not, when I led the league in hits, it was over both Ruth and Gehrig. I went to four World Series with the Yankees, and all were quietly done on my part because of those two players. I played in the outfield beside the Babe and Bob Meusel. Who am I? |
