I need to think beyond players from the 80s and 90s.

My mind goes there immediately. My Astros answers for today were Bill Doran, Doug Drabek & Gerald Young!
8/9
Lots of HOFers today:
Joe Morgan, X, Frank Robinson
Gerrit Cole, Barry Bonds, Willie Stargell
Cesar Cedeno, Willie Mays, Rickey Henderson
I made it a little more complicated than it needed to be. Should have used the first answer for the one I missed, because I could think of additional answers for everything else, except for Joe Morganbeing the Giants/Reds answer today.

6/9. I wasted way too many guesses at 3000k for LA.

That one stumped me for awhile until I remembered a rental trade. I'm usually good on the bottom row and right column. It's the two-team players that give me trouble.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
My buddy used Greg Maddux for the 3,000k Dodger...and that blew my mind for a second.
Same here.
9/9 yesterday, 5/9 today (including one wild guess right). Humbling.

How many names would be acceptable if the question was 3,000+ K Career and Astros? There are 19 members in the 3000K club; these are the ones who have played for the Astros:_lefraud_ said:

1. Nolan Ryan
2. Randy Johnson
3. Roger Clemens
7. Don Sutton
12. Justin Verlander
17. Curt Schilling
Yeah, I had to think long and hard before getting the Dodger K frame. So many of the all-time Dodger greats lacked the longevity to get to 3000 K, so you had to think of cameo appearances. I almost went Maddux before remembering Don Sutton.
Strangely enough, I struggled to think of the LA/CWS crossover players, so I cheated and went with Mr. Freespace, Edwin Jackson.

Funny how the mind works. Or maybe just my mind. I never thought of Sutton for the 3000k box but he was first that came to mind for Dodgers/Brewers box. Immediately thought of Seaver for Sox HOF, Randy Johnson for Yankees 3000K and Pedro for the Dodgers. Sox/Dodgers box was my hardest.
Today I learned that Sandy Koufax didn't strike out 3,000 batters.
Same. Kershaw and Greinke are very close but not there yet.
He had a short career. He retired at 30 due arthritic arm. He was almost in constant pain the last two seasons he pitched. .spadilly said:

He led the league in innings pitched, complete games, and ERA those years on the way to two Cy Youngs.
Yep and probably could have pitched effectively for at least a few more seasons. He stated he wanted full use of his body for his post-baseball life.Farmer1906 said:jkag89 said:He had a short career.

Andrew Benintendi, X, Zack Greinke
James paxton, Edwin Encarnacion, Felix Hernandez
Nathan Eovaldi, Mike Napoli, Nolan Ryan
I couldn't think of anyone on the Kansas City - Cleveland. When I looked up who has, I don't blame myself for not remembering that they did.

I got 6 right away but am stuck on Sea/Bos, Sea/Cle, and KC/Cle. Hoping it'll come to me throughout the day
6/9 today. I thought for sure Bret Saberhagen would have racked up a 200+ K season for KC. I also put Edwin Encarnacion in the wrong team combination square.
Same here on both 6/9 and thinking the same KC pitcher with 200 K's.
Eric Hosmer, X, Zack Greinke
Mike Cameron, X, Randy Johnson
Mitch Moreland, Otis Nixon, Nolan Ryan

BTW, this things get weird with first names. I looked for Mike LaCoss the other day, but no dice. Found him as Michael LaCoss.

I should wait until I wake up to play this. So mad at myself for not coming up with a 500 HR/3000 hit guy.
7 again.
