W - Carlton wasn't top 25
S - Lee Smith is correct, he had 333 saves, way ahead of 2nd place Dan Quisenberry with 210
WHIP - Don Sutton 17th with 1.22
ERA - Carlton not top 25
Shutouts - Carlton is 13th with 7

HR - Schmidt with 397 is correct, Dale Murphy 2nd with 366

"+ plays possibly Kirby Puckett" Good guess, Puckett was 2nd with 84

"Last wild guess would be Dave Stieb for wins" Stieb was 3rd with 157 (1st in losses though with 129!)

"Hits and Average Kirby Puckett" Not top 25 for hits, but yes, first in AVG with .355

"3B raines?" Raines was 3rd with 91

Do you mean Andre Dawson? He's top 5 in plenty of categories, but I don't think he led any of the ones I listed above.

Damn, I forgot to include SBs in the original post. But that should be an easy one...

RBI - Keith Hernandez
BB - Willie Randolph
SB - Rickey Henderson
OBP - Tim Raines

I'll toss out a clue for longest hitting streak -- it's a player who wasn't known for his offense.
5/12/2010 5:01 PM
Ozzie?
5/12/2010 5:07 PM
Yes, Ozzie Smith with the improbable 38-game hit streak (from 1986, when he hit .280 real life).
5/12/2010 5:10 PM
I guess Joe Schlabotnik for every category still remaining.
