Default Interesting Trivia Question
Amongst all members of the HOF Ted Williams has the highest OBP at .482. Babe Ruth is second at .474. Who is number three? If you look it up please don't post an answer.

I know that Bill Joyce had a great career OBP, but he's not a HOFer either. I'm pretty sure he's at least in the top-10, unless some new guys passed him up.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

First thought was Ty Cobb.. To obvious, so no.
Then Joe Jackson but he isnt in the HOF
Then Chipper Jones but he is not in the HOF yet

So it must be a 19th Century since Jay posted I thought.. Then again, Jay must be trying to throw us a curve ball meaning its a 20th Century player.

Guess Mickey Cochrane

Interesting given his motto, get a good pitch to hit. He must be top 10 though, no?

After reading all the comments, I caved and looked it up. The answer made me slap my forehead and say, “Oh, OK!” It’s arguably a little bit of a trick question. Interestingly, Hornsby #8 on the overall list, the highest on any right-handed hitter, and one of only two righties in the top 17. The highest-ranked active player (obviously not a HOFer yet) is #11, and is not who I would have guessed.

First thought was Ichiro. But he's not in HOF. Duh. Then thought it must be a trick question, like it's a pitcher. Thought Don Newcombe. But I have no clue, so off to google I go!

I would have guessed Trout so that must be wrong.
