Quiz – HOFers and All-Stars

Actually, one of these guys wasn’t an All-Star, but that’s only because there weren’t such things in his time.

Regardless, the list after the jump is an impressive assortment of top baseball talent. And, it’s a very exclusive group because these are the only players since 1901 to accomplish a particular feat. What is that feat?

The quiz has been solved in just 63 minutes. Congratulations to bstar!

I’m going to have to go back to the difficult quizzes.

After the Shawon Dunston quiz a little while ago, this one should be pretty easy.

Hint: the feat has multiple parts.

The feat is that none of them have ever been in my kitchen.

That narrows it down to what, about 312,780,928 people in the US, right?

Actually three guys were never All-Stars: Lajoie, Wheat and Zimmerman.

I tried a season of Hits >= 200, 2B >= 30, 3B >= 10, HR >= 10, but that overgenerated. So I tried all those numbers but “name = Heinie”, but that undergenerated. Am I on the right track?

I was on a similar path, and did get the seven names on the list to show up, using hits >= 200, SLG.>= .500, 3B>=10, HR>=10, and 3B=HR all in one season. Don’t know if it’s the answer you were looking for, Doug.

The SLG appears unnecessary. I think it’s just Hits >= 200, HR (or 3B) >=10, HR = 3B, and being named Heinie. Or Nap. Or Ryne (or Paul or Zack or Keith).

Well, Pete Rose shows up also on that list so I used SLG >= .500 to narrow the list to seven.

I kind of backdoored this one, but I’ll take it. Thanks, Doug.
