    Nolan Ryan is correct. Niekro and Musial are incorrect and Ted Williams was already guessed correctly by PVNICK.

    Jim O'Rourke and Eddie Collins. I said like 8 guys off the top of my head and finally looked them up because I could no longer wait.

    Someone stole my thunder with Willie McCovey and Mickey Vernon already, but I'm pretty sure Rick Dempsey did it, too.

    Officially it never happened, but Elmer Valo, who played in the 40s, 50s & 60s, took part in one game in 1939.

    From 1965-1980 Minoso had a grand total of 10 ABs

    Technically, years that end in 0 are part of the previous decade, but I won't ruin the thread with such technicalities.

    So what's the list so far?
    Put it in the books.
