Rickey Henderson - Only the best leadoff hitter ever.


Mike Fitzgerald (Long Beach, cA)
Ernie Whitt
Mark Clear (LA)
Lee Guetterman
Vance Law
Joey Meyer - Topps called him a Future Star after his age 25 season, when he had not even reached the majors. Maybe Topps hadn't noticed that very, very few hitters who haven't reached the big leagues at that age turn out to have much of a career when they do. Meyers then played all of two seasons in the bigs, netting an OPS+ of 99 in 516 PA as a DH. He hit 18 HR. Not quite a star, as it turned out.


Rick Cerone
Butch Wynegar
Denny Walling - Looks surprised to have hit the ball.

Mariano Duncan (D.R.) - What kind of batting pose is this? An advanced bunting technique in which you keep the bat as far away from the ball as possible? Perhaps he is preparing to charge the mound? He doesn't look like he has the size for it.

John McNamara
Eric Davis (LA) - Eric the Red could flat out play. In '87 he had an OPS+ of 155 while stealing 50 bases and bagging a Gold Glove. In his age 25 season. Eat your heart out, Joey Meyer.

Garth Iorg (Arcata, CA)
Rick Honeycutt - I wonder if he always wore his hat this way.

Floyd Youmans - Beheaded the fellow behind him with his mighty glove.


Kirby Puckett - All Star

Cali - 5


Cali is now up 16-9 with seven packs remaining. You few stragglers that haven't emailed me already, get those guesses to me by midnight Monday night.
