But, as Lex said, he could hit. hit 36 home runs and slashed .306/.389/.695 (better than 2022 line for Bart, Belt, Crawford, Gonzalez, La Stella, Wynns, & Wade).

Name the four players with more than 2000 career walks.
Bonus points: Name the two additional players with 1800 to 2000 career walks.
(Hitters, not pitchers)

Yes, you got three of them. Ruth, Williams, and Bonds all had over 2000 walks -- Bonds 2,558, Ruth 2,062, Williams 2,021.
Neither answer includes Aaron, Gehrig, or Mays
That leaves one more in the 2,000+ category, plus the two bonus guys with 1800 to 2000 walks.

Pete Rose. David Ortiz.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - terry - 03-11-2023
Nope, not Rose or Ortiz.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BostonCard - 03-11-2023
Slalom, grand slalom, super G(rand slalom), downhill, combined
BC
Ricky Henderson I think is the last 2000 walk guy. No idea on the 1800 guys.

Yes to five (though it's giant, not grand) What's the sixth?
And it's Rickey. . . .

Shiffrin is correct. She's also won more world cup races than anyone. Set the new record yesterday.
The sixth event is indeed officially fairly new (Combined, slalom plus downhill/super G, and super G were the last additions). However, the sixth was the common event on the pro circuit in the seventies. Went to Bob Beattie's Racing Camp on Mt Bachelor in the mid 70's and raced the event there. Instructors included Terry and Tyler Palmer and Spider Sabich (who was shot to death by Claudine Longet).

Yes, Rickey Henderson had 2,190 walks.
The two guys with 1800 to 2000 walks were contemporaries of one another, with their careers covering roughly the same years. One of them spent his entire career in the American League, while the other one spent almost his entire career in the National League. They played against each other in the World Series. Both of them won MVPs. Both are Hall of Famers.

How about Brock and Yaz? Lou had to get on base a lot.

You got one of them! Yastrzemski had 1,845 walks.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - cardcrimson - 03-11-2023
Really thought Brock was the guy, guessed Yaz from that.

Joe Morgan. Credit goes to CC. Pretty easy to get Morgan as BoSox only had ‘67…..I meant ‘75…..
