I'm gonna try Gary Sheffield. I remember he was a High School phenom coming up around the same time as Craig Jeffries, and he had a pretty long career.
Struggled quite a bit when he first came up (especially fielding if I remember correctly), but might have hit some HR's while still a teenager.

Well done! The last 2 (that I am aware of) only played in the Negro Leagues. Both are Hall of Famers. One has an alliterative name. Last edited by cgjackson222; 08-13-2024 at 02:07 PM.

Willie Wells?
Buck Leonard? By the way, I'm sure it was a mistype, but Ott did not retire at 18. I found the other one, but since I 'researched', I'll let someone else tell.

Willie Wells is correct! Great job! Willie Wells hit 1 HR at age 19 with the St. Louis Stars of the Negro National League and continued until he was 43 with teams like the Memphis Red Sox and New York Black Yankees. Buck Leonard isn't recognized as playing for a Major League team until age 27, with the Homestead Grays, but he did play with them until he was 40. Sorry, I meant Ott retired at age 38, not 18.... One left. The last player played for three of the greatest teams in Negro League history, the St. Louis Stars of 1928-1931, the Pittsburgh Crawfords of 1932-1936, and the Homestead Grays of 1943-1945. He led the League in virtually every category except Home Runs. He was elected to the HOF in Cooperstown back in '74. Last edited by cgjackson222; 08-13-2024 at 03:55 PM.

So we had Cobb, Staub, Sheffield, ARod, Martin Dihigo, Cool Papa Bell, and Wille Wells. There may be some more Negro Leagues players I don’t know of. Well done everyone!
