No correct guess yet. It is surely a surprising answer.

Great question, Jay, and I, too, looked it up. Never would have guessed that person in a lifetime!

Cheers, Mike

Interestingly, Tony Gwynn's OBP was under .400. His low OBP is being used as an argument to get Edgar Martinez into the HOF.

shoot! I wavered between guessing Delahanty and Billy Hamilton and Billy is fourth. But I wouldn’t have guessed number three either.

Damn, I was wrong - and given a dozen more opportunities, would have still been wrong!
