Every question here should be opinion-based. Nothing that can be answered with a fact. Who is the best to do ... ? or Who is the fastest ... ? It's a simple chain thread, the person who answers the previous question gets to provide the next question. Perhaps an example to get things started will suffice. Please bold your questions. Answers are on a first come, first serve basis; so the idea is that once someone gives their opinion, we move on to the next question. Obviously I can't prevent people from disagreeing, but we'll do the best we can. As always, have fun.
Who is the greatest player to never lead his league in any of the following categories: AVG, HR, RBI, OBP, or SLG?

I say Rafael Palmeiro. 3,000 hits, 500 homers and never a league leader.

RMB, you need to provide the next question.I don't know if I have one right now, and you guys have done some excellent questions. If you guys have candidates for worst fielders (with a substantial career length), best defensive seasons by position, catchers with a better offensive SB% than defensive SB% allowed, stuff like that.

This might be under quirky...
I've always wondered that when players are traded in season (like Harden and CC recently) where do they stay as far as housing and what do they do as far as transportation? Do they stay in a hotel? Rent a condo? I'm sure they probably won't buy a house until they know they are there in their new city for quite a while. And what if they have a family and then boom...they're gone. And is this all handled by their agent if they have one? Just wondering the typical way all this is handled. :think:
