When Aaron launched the immortal 715th home run of his career, this guy was standing on first base, scoring ahead of the Hammer. This guy played basketball under Jerry Tarkanian at Pasadena City College before they both moved on to more lucrative things. This man's AL leading 40 home runs with the 1985 Tigers made him the first to have 40 HR seasons in both leagues, and his over 1600 walks gave him an on-base percentage over 100 points higher than his paltry 0.248 batting average. Only Reggie Jackson before him hit at least 100 home runs with three different clubs. Identify this 3B-1B-DH with the Braves, Giants, and Tigers who, with Dave Kingman, is the only person to hit 400 career home runs in the pre-steroids era to not get into the Hall of Fame.
