    Who is the Only ...?

    Using career numbers, find a combination that makes a well-known player unique in baseball history. Keep the numbers round, and don't use anything more advanced than OBP or SLG. First person to answer makes up the next question. And no peeking.

    Starting off:

    Who is the only player with at least a .300/.400/.500 slash-line, and at least 1,500 hits, but fewer than 100 home runs?

    Who is the only player with at least 2,000 hits and 200 home runs to never make an all-star team? This only includes players who's careers began after 1930.

            I don't have a question ready - I 'll think of one, but if anyone else is interested in throwing one out there and taking my turn, go ahead
