Joey Votto.
Actually, no.

Votto has played in sixteen seasons for the Cincinnati Reds, through 2022, and there's no guarantee that he will finish his career with the team; he's in the last year of his contract, he'll be 40 in September, and he's only had one good season in the past five. I did specify a player who 'played in', rather than one who 'has played', and I did specify fifteen years.

You may try again.

John Hiller. My Dad grew up with him, always caught the Tigers when in town growing up.
Correct!

Hiller was primarily a reliever, (he started 43 games of his 546* games played), but he holds the Major League record for most consecutive strikeouts at the beginning of a game, (six).


*One game as a pinch runner.

I'll say hit 20 goal mark in a season without having 5 assists. Back in the early days that was much more common.

It may be possible. The answer I'm looking for is a bit different, but you're on the right track.

My gut answer was Duane Kuiper, but he only hit one in 12 seasons.

September 2, 1970, I was at Jarry Park when Gene Alley hit an inside the park grand slam on what should have been a single to center field. The ball bounced past Boots Day, and rolled most of the way to straight away center, which was 420 feet from home plate.

Who am I?

I played for three different teams in the WHA, and two different NHL teams, all of which were in Canadian cities. One of those franchises was in both leagues.

I was the first NHL captain of a Canadian-based team.

I was the captain of a WHA team in 1978-79, and the captain of an NHL team in 1979-80, but the two teams were based in different cities.
