Trivia day
 
Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Stan Musial and Mel Ott and ________ are the only players to compile a .300 batting average, .400 on-base percentage, .500 slugging percentage, at least 450 home runs and at least 2,700 hits over a career.

Chipper Jones.

Miguel Cabrera will also have all the compilation stats after next season. If he can bring his career OBP up by .005, he'll be in the club also.

A noble effort, but trivia via the computer is (for lack of a better term) dumb. People will simply look it up rather than rely on their brain.

without using the internet, I would have guessed the Big Hurt - Frank Thomas. But, alas, and upon further review, he missed on the hits component of the question (w/ 2,468).

I'm thinking The Say Hey Kid. Without looking anything up, most of those numbers fit his stats.

Albert Pujols?

Baseball Bob got it right. Chipper Jones. HOF ballots released earlier today. Very few players have a single season of .300-.400-.500 and he did it for his career. Plus, he played for one the same organization during his career which is almost as rare in this day and age.

Eddie Murray?

And 2900 hits and it is only Musial. 520 Hrs and it is only Ruth. I am not sure the point, but Chipper is a Hofer. He is not in the same class as Ruth, Gehrig or Musial.

Even before scrolling down to see anyone's answers, I said Chipper Jones to myself. I remember reading an SI article on him years ago which sited those statistics. Guy was very consistent.

TED WILLIAMS is the man.

Check-out his numbers......

BA = .344

Hits = 2654

HR = 521

OBP = .482

SLG = .634


Of course, his honorable WWII (1943-45) and Korean War (1952-53) Military Service as a Naval Aviator
keeps him from qualifying for this quiz (only 46 Hits short of the criteria).

Suggestion: Change the Hits number to 2600.....we cannot leave "Teddy Ballgame" out of this answer.

By the way, I'm a long-time Yankees fan (1947 > now). Anyway, I was lucky to see Ted play when I was young.
Ted was tremendous. In 1957 (at age 39), Ted was flirting with another .400 year. Finished with a .388 BA.
