I can't remember the name, but I think one of them scored 111 runs in 602 at-bats. I remember him as being a National. Actually, pretty sure it was Rendon.

Freddie Freeman

Good guesses, but no. One of them was a National, though. The other was a Phillie.

Phillie had to Chase Utley

Not in 2014. He was on the downside by then as were the Phillies. I finally had to give up and look, and I would never have thought of the right answer.

The Flyin' Hawaiian?


Isn't it silly that I remember his nickname, but his actual name eludes me.

Shane Victorino was also near the end of his career by 2014. The Phillies good run with Utley, Rollins, Howard, etc was from 2005-2012 and was then followed by a number of bad years before their current resurgence. They were 73-89 in 2014 when they had a player tie for the lead in hits.
