A few off the top of my head:
No idea on the 50's - 80's players
60's to 90's
Nolan Ryan
Carlton Fisk
70's to 00's
Tim Raines
Ricky Henderson
80's to 10's
Omar Vizquel
Ken Griffey Jr.
14 to go.

Follow-up question. Are there any players that would become four-decade players when MLB restarts? I don't think there are any active players left that played in the 90's, but I'm not sure.

Minoso is the guy who played in 5 decades (qwerty got it); he pinch hit in 1980 at age 54!
Jaime Moyer is one of the leftie pitchers.

Good question. Of those who haven't been mentioned, I only know Jim Kaat. What about knuckleballers? Tim Wakefield? Cy Young? Grover Cleveland?

(04-30-2020, 04:25 PM)BobK Wrote: Collins before 1950 so no Wilhelm
no
Yes on Williams and Newson
Wilhelm didn't make the majors until he was 29. And in his rookie season with the Giants, he went 15-3, finished 4th in MVP voting.
Here's a question: Which MLB Hall of Famer made the fewest all-star teams, while playing exclusively in the All-Star game era? (post-1933).

His broken big toe speeded the end of this HOFer's career? How did it happen?
05-01-2020, 11:26 AM
Nope. Dizzy Dean. Struck in the big toe by a liner in the All Star game in Griffith Stadium. Kept pitching on it and changed his delivery resulting in arm trouble and finis in a few years.

My comment was Dizzy talking to Peewee Reese on the Game of the week.
I win
Hoyt Wilhelm is the answer to my favorite trivia question. What Hall of Famer hit a HR In His first At Bat and that was his only HR

Here’s one for you long-suffering Giants fans:
Name 2 SF Giants who are among the all-time bottom 12 MLB career OPS+ “leaders.” (Each has >3500 PAs)
