80's player hangman

I suppose we should put a limit on the number of guesses, so let's do this now. Head, torso, arms and legs add up to six in my book, so let's set the number of incorrect guesses at 6. On the seventh failure you're hanged, so we score one point for the hangman.

There's the 'A', so I need to give a clue. This player led his team in at least one triple crown statistic for four straight years. By triple crown stat I mean HR, RBI, AVG. or W, Ks or E.R.A.

Ruben Sierra?

*edit* ah, just noticed the last name has 7 letters. dumb me.

Nope, it's not Ruben Sierra. It's a 5-letter first name, 7-letter last name. That incorrect guess is strike one of six. Sorry, rules are rules and them's the rules.

How about an I?

**riverfrontier** · 05-07-2012, 07:25 PM

Aye, 'i' it is. Now for your clue. This one-i'd player spent his entire career with one team.

OK...we still need some vowels for that first name. How about E?

**riverfrontier** · 05-08-2012, 10:07 AM

A man wants E, E he shall have.

_ I _ _ E _ A

Clue. This player is left-handed.

Good one. Teddy Higuera it is. Its your turn to post one up.

**machinehead11** · 05-13-2012, 01:55 PM

Alright, here goes:

I played 7 seasons, 5 of which were during the '80s. I played for three different teams in my career, one of which I had two stints on. I am also a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame.

Can I have an 'E', good sir?

**machinehead11** · 05-14-2012, 09:53 AM

Yes you can.

Clue: This player was either a pitcher or an outfielder (not both), and he either threw a no-hitter as a pitcher, or hit for the cycle as an outfielder.
