One for guessing only please (It will be too easy to look up). Since 2002, which 3 batters lead the majors in strikeouts?

**Dead Money** · 06-28-06, 09:07 AM

i know one of them..Frank Tanana nanna bo banna.

no clue on the other.

some other fossil...Danny Darwin maybe??

**moses millsap** · 06-28-06, 09:12 AM

Charlie Hough?

**Willie Bee** · 06-28-06, 09:35 AM

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.

Nolan Ryan?

**Willie Bee** · 06-28-06, 10:12 AM

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.

Dave Righetti?
Is this RHP a starter??

Rick Reuschel?

**Willie Bee** · 06-28-06, 11:15 AM

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.

Good job Stumpage!!
Ill keep trying on other trivias.

**Stumpage** · 06-28-06, 11:27 AM

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.

No guesses?

**Willie Bee** · 06-28-06, 12:52 PM

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?

**Stumpage** · 06-28-06, 01:06 PM

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?

**moses millsap** · 06-28-06, 01:07 PM

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

**Willie Bee** · 06-28-06, 02:08 PM

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.

**moses millsap** · 06-28-06, 02:11 PM

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.

**Willie Bee** · 06-28-06, 02:18 PM

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.
