Pujols, Arod, and Barry Bonds.

[Mort Gage]

I know this but won't ruin it just yet

Let's just say one of the teams he played for was outside the USA as a clue

You and tank know. I was hoping for some off the wall guesses.

In that case… Doc Cramer?

That's....off the wall. Any guesses on the follow up?

[Quincy Varnish]

Here’s one that will stump nearly any baseball trivia buff…

Who are the three players with 600 or more hits with 3 different teams?

May as well post the answer -

Wee Willie Keeler
Doc Cramer
Johnny Damon

Steve Finley missed the cut by only 5 hits…
Arizona - 847
San Diego - 662
Houston - 595

I should have stuck with the disfavored crowd.

[Mort Gage]

He was pesky when he was with the Mets playing the Cardinals in the 70s. One of those OFers in the 1970s a few hundred hits short of 3000 that weren't going to make the HOF.

RS

Building on tank's post one final hint. Said team's fans nicknamed him Le Grand Orange.

That's not a hint. It's a neon billboard. Even I know the answer now (showing my age).

Yes, it is Rusty Staub. By the time I started following baseball closely he was almost exclusively a PH for today's opponent.

Follow up: Staub is only one of four players to have hit a HR before the age of 20 and after 40. Who are the other three?

This one got lost and isn't terribly difficult.

One has to be Ty Cobb because he came up at the age of 18 and played well after 40.
