The Opposite of "Compilers"

[GiambiJuice]

Without cheating, who can name the five players who finished their careers with over 300 home runs, despite never playing a game after their age-33 season.

[Brooklyn]

Ralph Kiner

[Brooklyn]

Albert Belle

[GiambiJuice]

Kiner and Belle are correct. Three more to go..

[machinehead11]

Norm Cash? Dick Allen?

Two wild guesses there

Both incorrect.

[Brooklyn]

Mo Vaughn.

[GiambiJuice]

Mo Vaughn.

Good guess, but incorrect.

[PVNICK]

this is quite the challenge older generations retired earlier but only produced a handful of 300 HR hitters

my obligatory guess is Rogers Hornsby

Hornsby played for 23 seasons so he would have needed to start his MLB career at the age of 10 :o

I knew I should have added the modifier outlandish. Yet Hornsby is considered a short career guy when his name comes up in the top 10 etc. lists.

This is probably wrong, but I'll guess it anyway: Rocky Colavito?

[Ben Grimm]

I think I know one but for some reason can't remember his name. He was the last power-hitting 3B for the Angels... played from late-90s thru early 00s with them.

you are thinking of Troy Glaus. Did he retire that young?

Troy Glaus is correct. I don't know if he's officially retired yet, but he hasn't played a game since 2010 so I included him.

Rocky Colavito is incorrect.
