Trivia Question with Awesome Prize!! (maybe)

Who am I?

I hit exactly one home run in my major league career
I once had 14 total runs of offensive support in 14 straight starts
The Perry brothers were my teamates
Aaron never hit a home run off of me, but Clemente did
Never made the HOF, but got support all 15 eligible years


I think someone will jump on this -- go!

    Best guess would be Joe Niekro but maybe he's too recent.

    Another excellent guess, but Jim is incorrect. Folks forget Kaat won 25 games one year.

    editted to add: Didja know Kaat hit 16 regular season HR?

    Mr. R. Noggin, my prize will come; I cannot edit the original post without compromising the integrity of the contest. You have not participated in my contests earlier I take it?

    Clemente's Home Run was in the 1971 All-Star Game

    Mickey Lolich's only home run came in the 1968 World Series

    Was once a teammate of both Perry brothers

    Please PM to me your address and you will receive a prize selected especially for you!


    Hey, I grew up in Detroit in the 1960s and Lolich was a folk hero there. People really loved him (and hated McLain). Mickey won 25 games one year, won 3 games in one World Series, struck out 300+ in a season, etc. Just short of HOF.

    Thanks for the fun contest! It was nice learning about an old player that I wouldn't have normally studied. Good times!

    Um, Baseball Reference says he never hit a home run... http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lolicmi01.shtml

    I looked at him but didn't guess him because of the HR. He did have a stolen base though...

    Assuming a beer costs you five bucks, your hourly rate is pretty cheap to google the answer to that question. image

    Considering you didnt have to give away anything...it IS a nice prize. I wouldnt mind having that in my collection and it makes me want to dig out my Sportscaster cards and see if any of them are gradeable.
    I am on a budget and I am not afraid to use it!!

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
