I was born in West Virginia. After being taken in the second round of the MLB draft, I went on to that rare accomplishment of playing my entire career – 21 seasons – with one team. I won three batting titles while collecting over 3,100 base hits. I hit over 300 home runs and swiped over 200 bags. I also led the AL in slugging % and hits three times. I batted .337 in nine postseason series. I played on one World Series champion. I won a gold glove, three silver sluggers, a league MVP (finished second on two other occasions), and an ALCS MVP. I had an incident with pine tar. You can see my plaque in Cooperstown.
Who am I?
George Brett

Did you have to just give it away with the pine tar comment? Geez … at least make us do a little work 🙂
Good pounce, Smitty!
As I was reading, I was going between Robin Yount and George Brett. Once I saw pine tar, it was a dead giveaway.
Yes – nice pounce Smitty. Yeah I know Wally…you’re right. 🙂 I’ll make ya work a little harder tomorrow.
