Those are both fantastic guesses, but although both Kaline and Killebrew started in the Majors at age 18, both also retired at age 39.

Great question!

Adrian Beltre?

Another excellent guess, Beltre started with the Dodgers at 19, but retired with Texas at 39.

Mel Ott is an excellent guess, as he started hitting HRs for the Giants when he was 18, but he retired at 18.

Darryl Strawberry is a fine guess as well, but was 21 as a Rookie, and retired at age 37,

Still 4 to go though (that I am aware of).

As previously mentioned, Brooks Robinson is (barely) correct by the thinnest of margins. Well done!

Tris Speaker is a great guess, but although he started with the Red Sox at age 19, he didn't hit any HRs that year. He did have 3 HRs with the Athletics when he was 40 though.

Yes, Ty Cobb is correct! Great job! Cobb hit his 1st Home Run at 18 and his last at 41. Not sure if either was hit over a fence. I doubt it.

3 more to go.
