Was Jeter one of the home runs? Pujols yes. I used to know everything about baseball, the sport is
too boring for me now. I liked it when the pitchers would pitch 9 innings and the fences were deeper and the gloves not so deep pocketed. I like it when the infielders got in front of the ball, when the bunt was part of the game, when the players used two hands to catch the ball.
Boy, here's an easy to follow statistical "trivia" question!
I typed it verbatim into Chat GPT and it came back with, "???????WTH!!!!"
Is this the kind of post that harks back to the Golden Age of the OF?
0/5.

2016 - had to be Pujols
1999 - Boggs
2015 - Ichiro?
1996 - Gwynn
2011 - chipper?
My guess: I’m 0 for 5.
You have 1 name in the correct category and year.
You have another correct name in the wrong category and year.
I thought George Brett hit a double to pass 300 but your options dont fit so…

Change 99 to Bonds
And I forgot about the Yankees. I always forget about the Yankees.
Throw Jeter and A-Rod in there.
3/5.
Boggs, Jeter and A-Rod in that order are the HR list. Bonds is wrong. Brett is wrong.
Now you need the triples.
Two last guesses
Sandberg & Henderson.
Ricky hit triples. Ricky liked triples.
The last 2.
Triples:
1. Paul Molitor
2. Ichiro Suzuki
For the record, I only guess Jeter correctly.
