3 left.

 

[GreenDoberman]

above post edited.

 

[steaktartar]

you must be looking at the same list I am

lol

 

[bellyputter]

I played basketball against Darrell Porter in high school.

 

[fhmesq44]

must be a pitcher in there, I am out of guesses.

 

[GreenDoberman]

No pitchers.

One hall of famer, one of the best hitters ever at his position.
One 4-time all-star. Played for a team with a famous nickname.
One early 90s power hitter, possibly one of the steroid guys.

 

[steaktartar]

clint hurdle

 

[royboy_3831]

juan gone

 

[royboy_3831]

[GreenDoberman]

Juan Gonzalez
and Johnny Bench are correct.

Last one. Was an outfielder.

 

[steaktartar]

rumors suggest he might take you up on that offer

lol YA I SAW THAT

 

[GreenDoberman]

Last one was more known for his speed than power. Also was from the Dominican Republic.
