I think some people don't understand what an "obscure" player is.

Btw - I think the rule should be it can't come from your home team. I could rattle about 4/5ths of the Royals that played in the 80s.

That's a good one.
Anyone remember David Letterman having fun with him?
Different channels and newspapers in 1985 were doing the countdown to when Pete Rose would break the Cobb hits record.
"Only 27 hits to go" etc etc.

Letterman chose Biancalana for the calendar on his show, "Only 4,178 hits to go before he has Ty Cobb's record!"
Letterman eventually had Biancalana on as a guest and was asking him stuff about the everyday pressure of going after the record, the media hoopla surrounding him and the record, etc.

not from my home team someone said?

okay, Lenn Sakata (last BAL SS before Cal Ripken's streak)

Dickie Thon
Paul Assenmacher

I don't think those are very obscure actually but I'm drawing a blank right now.
