He went 21-3 with a 2.29 ERA and 213 K's in 204 innings at Fordham and was a 1987 1st round (supplemental) pick, # 27 overall, by the Orioles. Long Island boy, One of the Commacks I think. Not easy making the bigs from a small northeast school where one actually has to go to class in addition to playing a sport They also had two hall of famers, Frankie Frisch (noted earlier in this thread) and Ed Walsh, a pitcher with the lowest career ERA in history Other local college players you might remember (would make a good trivia question) Joe Sambito - Adelphi Curt Blefary - Wagner Allen Watson - NY Tech Dennis Leonard - Iona Joe Nathan - Stony Brook Joe Foy - Lehman Ken Singleton - Hofstra not that notable, just killing time by looking busy so I don't have to go help make dinner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 For the 50's it had to be someone who played the whole decade or close so that leaves out Mathews and Aaron and such So I'm thinking a couple of ex-Mets did it Hodges had 370 and the 50's were about it for him Snider had over 400 and the 50's were also his decadeSnider and Hodges are the 2! Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (oops, hit enter too fast) the other 80's guy has to be either Eddie Murray or Dale Murphy I know cheating giving two names but it almost has to be one or the other, again same thinking that it was someone who hit the whole decadeDale Murphy is correct!

The Crimson King Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 So what's left on the 300 HR's just the last 10 years? How about Mike/Giancarlo Stanton, Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera? Juan Lagares would have been close if he started in 2010. Would only need about 290 more. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
