Eddie Mathews, the Hammer, and the original Big Hurt. Adcock and you have the recipe for a major league explosion.
Held, Ramos, Francona and Brown? The odds of that quartet accomplishing this feat are astronomical. Yeah, I realize they're already pretty steep.
Interesting that 3 of the five occurred during the early sixties when pitching dominated at historic levels.
