This will be a multi-question quiz but done one Q at a time
One paired guess (Franchise/Player) at a time. 3 points for correct team, 5 more for correct player.

Phase 1: For which two franchises does their leading career HR hitter have fewer HRs than Darryl Strawberry's 252 for the Mets?

So sorry. Longoria IS the Rays all-time HR hitter but his total clocks in at 261, nine higher than Straw/Mets

HUH?
Vlad hit 234 HR as an expo and no expo hit more.
Am I missing a rule here?

Except that that's two consecutive guesses so I rescind the 8 points.

For the fewest HRs to lead a franchise????
What have you been drinking ... and can I have some?

Yhe question on the table is: For which two franchises does their leading career HR hitter have fewer HRs than Darryl Strawberry's 252 for the Mets?

Colbert used to be the correct answer, so he must have been overtaken by…Manny Machado.

Yes, just last week in fact. That changing of the guard was the inspiration for the quiz.
Colbert, who came up with Houston but moved to SD for their inaugural season, held the franchise HR record for the entire history of the club's
existence ... until now.

So with the first part of the quiz solved, and GWreck leading Chad 5 points to 3, it's on to phase two

Who has the most HRs for a franchise AND hit ALL his HRs for just that one club?

(Del Boca Vista) Phase III

In addition to the Phillies and Schmidt, Twelve other players hit all their HRs for one team and also hold that franchise's all-time HR record.
Have at it.
