Not Ripken.

Who holds the major-league record for career doubles with 792?

Ty Cobb? No. He had 724.

Ha. It's the other answer, Tris Speaker. Good post Jagger.

 

[Jagger69]

Speaker it is! What a fantastic player he was and, even though he is in the HOF, underrated in my book. Look up his stats and you'll be amazed.

Son of a gun-I thought Speaker was in the HOF.

 

[Jagger69]

He is in the HOF. One of the original inductees if I'm not mistaken.

Total stab in the dark here-The Babe, Ted Williams, Barry Bonds all would have to be up there.

 

[Jagger69]

Ruth, Gehrig, Williams, Foxx, DiMaggio & Bonds* would be my guesses. Gotta think big power guys who could still hit for average, no?

* with the aid of performance-enhancing drugs

 

[panther]

I'll take a shot.

Bonds, Ruth, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig and Frank Thomas.

Those four are correct :thumbsup:

Two more to go...

 

[feller469]

Aaron and Musial, want to go Mays, but going Stan.

Nope. Not Aaron, Musial or Mays. All three ARE in the top 22, along with Frank Thomas. But not the top 6.

Hank Greenberg?

 

[panther]

Jimmy Fox and
Gary Sheffield?
