    299 home runs is Tim Salmon.

          Phillips is probably the one on here a lot. I'll guess him for games, pa, ab, runs and hits.

          Otis Nixon for stolen bases

            Phillips is correct for games, PA, AB and runs. Nixon is correct as well.

                Nope, but he's on that list elsewhere.

                  David Segui for hits?

                    I believe Barney McKosky might be the AVG answer. A solid journeyman player during the WWII era. I know he had a career AVG over .300 with the Indians, Tigers and A's. No clue if he was ever an All-Star though...

                      I know Todd Zeile is the ony player with 2,000 hits and 200 HR to never make an all-star team, so I will guess Todd Zeile for hits. If it's not Zeile, I will guess Orlando Cabrera and Juan Pierre.
                      My top 10 players:

                      1. Babe Ruth
                      2. Barry Bonds
                      3. Ty Cobb
                      4. Ted Williams
                      5. Willie Mays
                      6. Alex Rodriguez
                      7. Hank Aaron
                      8. Honus Wagner
                      9. Lou Gehrig
                      10. Mickey Mantle

                        McCosky is correct for batting average. Pierre is correct for hits. Zeile and Cabrera are incorrect, but both are elsewhere on the list...

                            Pat Burrell might have that strikeout mark, and I remember Bill Bruton from another trivia question as the player never to have made an all-star team under certain conditions, but I think it had to do with leading the league in stolen bases or something of that sort. Is he the "triples" answer?

                            Also, the late 1970s are my favorite era to study. I remember once looking up Dan Driessen's batting record and noticing he had exactly 100 Intentional Base on Balls. He is my guess there.

                            Tony Phillips is listed above under WAR. (thanks for the hint) I am guessing he holds the walk record as well.

                            Travis Hafner might be the OPS+ answer. Very tricky... The SLG question was posted here a while back. That was Hal Trosky.

                            Garvey, Lopes, Russell, and Cey started 833 times and the Dodgers went 498-335, for a .598 winning percentage. That’s equal to a team going 97-65 over a season. On those occasions when at least one of them missed his start, the Dodgers were 306-267-1, which is a .534 clip. That works out to a team going 87-75. So having all four of them added 10 wins to the Dodgers per year.
