Fogger01 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm back from vacation. (I think I need to buy a laptop) Could it be 36-year old Scott McClain who was born in my hometown of Simi Valley, California? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Welcome back, Fogger! :) As I post this @ 3:13 am on Tuesday, July 29, 2008, McClain ranks second among active players with 284 Minor League home runs ... only two round-trippers behind the leader. HINT: The active leader in Minor League home runs is a member of Team USA -- competing next month in Beijing . . . :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoelessjoelives Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 ^ it's one of 'em ......... show some guts and PICK ONE, Joe !!! :whome: Actually if I had to guess and I guess I am guessing at this point aren't I. I will guess and say Mike Hessman. At least I got it down to the final 2. Nobody else did. :happy65: :flowers: ...........And If Hessman is not right I will delete this post and put my answer on here as "Brad Eldred" and disallow any knowledge of the "Hessman answer".........as my first answer will self-destruct in less than 5 seconds. Cheapy, you can even put up the next question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hessman is the correct answer w/286 Minor League home runs .. a number that we be "on hold" until he returns from Beijing (look for McClain to pass him!)

shoelessjoelives Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Masumi Kawata. You can ask the next Quiz if this is correct.
