but he's a .226 career hitter and he has nine home runs over 16 MLB seasons.

As a baseball trivia enthusiast, can you name 3 of the top 5 pitchers with the best career OPS of all time?

Answers below...

Ken Brett: .722 OPS, 10 HR, 42 RBI in 350 PA (he's George Brett's big brother!!)

Sloppy Thurston: .682 OPS, 5 HR, 79 RBI in 698 PA

Les Sweetland: .679 OPS, 0 HR, 34 RBI in 325 PA

Jack Scott: .673 OPS, 5 HR, 73 RBI in 736 PA

Dontrelle Willis: .665 OPS, 9 HR, 39 RBI in 447 PA

If you knew two of them, I'm impressed. If you even knew one of them, I'm still quite impressed.
