Nolan Ryan for the first two- just a guess from how long he played- other guesses for most starts would be seaver and for ks- randy johnson

Ken Griffey Jr? Bonds seems too obvious

Very good on the K’s, Randy Johnson. The other two are household names. One might be a HOF er, I gotta check.

Yep the starter with 14 OD starts is a Recent HOF- last 20 years or so.

The rbi guy is a big lefty. Same time frames.
