All of them? A quick glance showed two Boog Powell's, one signed by A's the other by the O's.

All of them is correct! Quite an assortment of talent.

Don't forget, they signed MC Hammer, as well. . . .

You got it….

I believe Bailey will be among the Top 3 but I think Sean Murphy will win it.  We shall see….

I cheated On Johnson.

Two MLB players have hit 5 HRs in a DHer
Who are they and what’s the connection from the second player to the first ?

Nate Colbert and Stan Musial. I can’t remember the connection.

Colbert is the second.

Stan Musial and Colbert said he was at that doubleheader (I'm pretty sure I recall this from a previous sports trivia question here)

Mike Myers
J. D. Drew
Toby Hall
Babe Laufenberg
Brad Lidge
Dennis Cook
Matt Nokes

Adam Duvall
Golden Tate
Joe Ryan

Steve Busby
Jody Reed
Pete Falcone
Tom Murphy
Gary Gentry
Steve Stone
Dick Tidrow
Bud Black (10 years before he led the league in losses for the Giants)

I don’t believe he has retired.  I thought he was still playing in Mexico.

Didn't know that. He played in the Puerto Rican Winter League (2022/3), but his baseball reference entry ends there.

...and he's listed as a free agent...

I wonder what he weighs now? My mental over/under is 300 pounds...
