not Reggie, not Winfield, certainly not Edgar.

  - How is it Bench if Reggie was drafted in 1966? -- nm - Krusty - Springfield Hall of Famer Feb 18, 08:43 22
    - I was about to ask Will if it was first drafted, or first inducted -- nm - crash davis Feb 18, 08:44 21
      - Hrmmm, i guess they're going by first inducted. it was off BaseballAmerica. - Will Hunting Feb 18, 08:44 20
        
        no! I demand full credit for pulling that name out of my butt - my next post was going to list about 8 other names -- nm - crash davis Feb 18, 08:46
        
        I guessed Reggie last board! - amoxy Feb 18, 08:45 14
        
        Fine. *takes Krusty's 1/2 credit and divides it again in half* - Will Hunting Feb 18, 08:46 13
        
        I blame Baseball America for not wording the question better. He would have gotten it if they did. I wasn't here for the 1st posting of the question -- nm - Krusty - Springfield Hall of Famer Feb 18, 08:48 12

        Talking sh!t already?!? I'll wait until you watch the Sox get swept out of Boston to start the mocking. -- nm - Krusty - Springfield Hall of Famer Feb 18, 09:11
        
        You wanna play on Facebook? - amoxy Feb 18, 08:52
        
        I went through almost every guy drafted in 1965!!! Stupid poorly worded question. -- nm - Krusty - Springfield Hall of Famer Feb 18, 08:45 3
        
        I almost said Pete Rose, that would have been a gaffe :) -- nm - crash davis Feb 18, 08:46 2
        
        Hey, after your Edgar guess, it couldn't possibly get worse. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 18, 08:47 1
        
        my Edgar guess was one of the best Slackertalk posts, ever -- nm - crash davis Feb 18, 08:47
  - oh yeah, crash takes it on the lucky guess! -- nm - crash davis Feb 18, 08:43
Tom Seaver? -- nm - amoxy Feb 18, 08:39
