Thanks for the clue. The worst trade that I can think of is the Padres getting Tatis Jr. I think the White Sox but I can’t think of the Padre that Chicago received.

Just as an aside, I always thought guys like Cobb and Rose would do anything to get on base. Cobb never led the league, and Rose only led the league once, with the absurdly low total of 6 in 1980.

Bobbbbbbb made a good guess since Hunt has the season record, a phenomenal 50. Did it while we were working for the Giants. He would just stand there and not move on an inside pitch.

You got the trade. The pitcher that went from SD to Chicago was James Shields (11 CG’s in 2011).
His record with the ChiSox was 16-35 with a ERA of 5.31 in 2 1/2 seasons.

Yes. Andruw Jones was the first MLB player from Curacao (debuting in 1996) - 15 more Curacao natives have made it to the majors in the next quarter century, from a country with a current population of 165,000.
Current MLB players from Curacao include Kenley Jansen, Andrelton Simmons, Jonathan Schoop and Ozzie Albies.

Track & field?
I know it's not baseball - my home state school (CU) regrettably gave that up about 40 years ago. I'm old enough that I had several HS teammates & opponents that played there.
