Two names immediately popped into my head but I'll go with the lesser obvious one:

Frank Thomas aka The Big Hurt

Nope.

In his first eight full seasons, (1991-98), Thomas always had 100+ walks, RBIs and runs, but he hit less than 30 homers in two of those seasons.


Try again.

It's generally considered that Nolan Ryan was the first player in MLB history to be paid a million dollars a year. However, your comment with the asterix makes me think that answer will be incorrect. I'll go with it anyway.

Who are the only 2 people that have had their engraved name removed from the Stanley Cup?

Answers:

1. Basil Pocklington--1984(answered by downbound123). When the Oilers won their first cup owner Peter Pocklington had his Father's name engraved on the Cup, even though his Father had no role in the organization. When it was brought to the attention of the NHL administration they had the name over written.

2. Brad Aldrich--2010(answered by Reec). The Blackhawk video coach was involved in a sexual assault scandal in the Blackhawk organization.

In the Blue Jays Era , (post 1976), two Major League Baseball players had seasons in which they had 100 or more RBIs and fewer than 10 Home Runs.

Name either or both.

Hint: They played against each other in a World Series.

K Douglas correctly identified Paul Molitor.

On Wednesday, July 8, 2026, Dylan Cease became the sixth Toronto Blue Jays' pitcher to lose a no-hit bid after eight or more innings pitched.

Name as many of them as you can, (other than Dave Stieb, who did this four times).

unassuming correctly identified Bowden Francis.
