    This Hall of Famer has the most career doubles (7) in All-Star Game history.

    No, sir. Hint: He played in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

    You got it. Was surprised by Winfield. Most of the guys who hold the career count records in the ASG are people who played in the most games like Willie Mays and Stan Musial. As a quick follow up, this Hall of Famer who premiered in the 1930s holds the RBI record with 12, which seems rather low.

    When you said 70s, 80s and 90s, I figured it was just a handful of guys. I randomly guessed Winfield.

    Yeah, I suppose I could have pared it down differently — “ a one-time Yankee” — without giving it away so quickly.

    Teddy Ballgame holds the record for most career ASG ribbies in with 12.

    I guessed Brett as I knew he had won batting titles in all three decades.

    In 1957, Willie Mays hit 20 triples. Since then, six others have hit 20 in a season. Who are they?

    I’m pretty sure Willie Wilson is one of them.

    Started thinking about it some: Brett, Wilson and granderson have to be three. I know Jim rice and ryne Sandburg came close, but don’t think it is either of them.
