Trivia Question

I was thinking about trivia questions, and decided I would post the following trivia question for your perusal.

Name the only player in Major League history to have at least 500 hits with 4 different teams.

And for a bonus question, name the player who ended his career a combined 7 hits away from being the 2nd to accomplish the feat. This player is 4 hits shy with one team, and 3 hits shy with a second team.

 

I know posting a trivia question in a format like this allows everybody to research it before they give an answer, but I would hope that everyone will try and think of the answer, before they go and look it up.

This Fan-Post is authored by an independent fan. Tell us what you think and how you feel.

Where's the AFLAC duck running across my screen?

Well...

...that lasted all of 27 minutes.

Got anything harder? (remembering of course, when establishing difficulty, that your chosen audience is attached to a computer as their starting point)

I see red people

I knew

when I posted this, that everybody looking at it was on a computer, with access to all kinds of Baseball Statistics.

Maybe next time I will post a question during a game thread, and give a 5 minute time limit to get the answer.
