Henry Aaron has 755 of 'em and Barry Bonds has 719. But only two pitchers allowed a home run to both of them. Who are those two hurlers?

One for guessing only please (It will be too easy to look up). Since 2002, which 3 batters lead the majors in strikeouts?Comment -
i know one of them..Frank Tanana nanna bo banna.
no clue on the other.
some other fossil...Danny Darwin maybe??Comment -
Charlie Hough?Comment -
Dead on for Dead Money...
Frank Tanana is indeed one of only two pitchers to allow homers to Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds. Tanana surrendered a fat one to Aaron on June 14, 1976, home run #748 by The Hammer. Tanana gave up career home run #201 to Bonds back on July 17, 1993.
Charlie Hough is not the other pitcher, though you are looking for a right-hander.Comment -
Nolan Ryan?Comment -
Not Ryan. Aaron took him deep twice (career homer #606 in May 1971 and career homer #740 in June 1975). But Barry Bonds never touched up The Express.
The right-hander you're looking for had at least 200 career wins, so he is a fairly well-known pitcher.Comment -
Dave Righetti?
Is this RHP a starter??Comment -

Rick Reuschel?Comment -
Stumpage is da' man
Rick Reuschel is the other pitcher to give up a home run to both Henry Aaron and Barry Bonds. Big Daddy gave up career homer #691 to Aaron in June 1973, and allowed career homer #93 to Bonds in May 1990.Comment -
Good job Stumpage!!
Ill keep trying on other trivias.Comment -
Thanks guys...Glad I got it, because I find these to be obsessive. Saves me from going through the Niekro stats, as he (they) were the next option I felt.Comment -
No guesses?Originally posted by OWNEDComment -
Sorry, Owned. Didn't see this one until now. Where did you post that?
My first two guesses would be Dunn and Burrell. Maybe Preston Wilson for #3?Comment -
Jim Edmonds always seems to be good for 130+ K's a year, so I'm guessing he's one of the three, at least. Like Willie Bee, I'm sure Dunn is there but have no idea who another guy might be...Maybe Mark Bellhorn?Comment -
Dunn is #1 and Burrell is #3. Edmonds and Bellhorn are incorrect. This 3rd guy has had several golden sombreros this year if I'm correct

Not Preston Wilson, huh? I know A-Rod strikes out more than most people think, but I'm still hesitant to throw him out for a guess. Sexson missed too much time in 2004 to count, I'm thinking. Only other names I can think of are Soriano and Wilkerson.Comment -
Not Preston, it was your other fantasy boy, Wilkerson.
Good job guys. All my trivia comes from the FSN broadcasts, lol. I saw that during the Rangers/Giants broadcast last night.Comment -
Should've known it was someone from one of my fantasy teams
Good question, Owned. Wilkerson gets lost in the shuffle a lot playing for the 'Spos before and the Rangers now.
