Yeah I'm counting Delago as active. If he's not, then Pujols is the leader with 4.

Andy will be pleased to see all those games by Joe Carter.
May 30th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
JT, you're right that I winced when I saw Carter on that list, but I had a stronger reaction to Steve Finley. While I obviously have no proof, evidence, or even suggestion, I am inclined to guess that Finley was a steroid user.

Kingman!!! LOL

David- Ruth only had 2 regular season 3 HR games.

While Kingman was one of the worst hitters ever, however, the guy could mash. I always believed he was black balled bv MLB as he would have hit 500 homers had his career not ended in 1987. His record of 35 homers for a player in his last season will stand for a long time.
May 30th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
I don't think Kingman was blackballed. By the end of his career he was a guy who didn't play defense, didn't do much of anything except pop an occasional HR, and was kind of a jerk to boot. Sure, if he was a nicer guy, maybe he gets another chance, but who needs a DH with a .255 OBP? 35 HR or not, he wasn't a good player at that point.
Now Barry Bonds, he got blackballed.

@5
Whoops... thanks for the correction. I think I lost track of the split between regular season and playoffs.
