OT: More Baseball Trivia

[Colbert17!]

Saw this question and haven't verified it but thought it was a good one and not too hard.

Only three eligible players in history of baseball have won Rookie of the Year, MVP and have been named to at least 7 All Star teams but are not in the Hall of Fame. Who are they?

I stressed the word eligible as that rules out Rose, any active player or any recently retired player, like Ichiro.

[Colbert17!]

Nomar or Fernando?

Fernando was MVP and Cy Young winner. Never MVP. Was an All Star only six times.
Nomar was ROY but never MVP. Only six all star teams.

 

[Colbert17!]

Jose Canseco

MVP and ROY. But only six all star teams

[Beancounter88]

Pedroia or Dick Allen?

 

[WhiteBus]

Damn I should have known this one right away. I live less than a mile from the stadium that just retired his number. Richie Allen.

 

[Colbert17!]

Dick Allen is correct.

Mark Grace had the most hits during the 90s. If you watched the debacle last night you would have heard the Mets' announcers mention it.
