This week, I decided to extend beyond actual baseball statistics into the make-believe world of baseball statistics that comes from film.
One former MLB player's character, in a film about baseball, went 4-5 with 3 HR and 6 RBI in his first Major League game. Name the MLB player.
1) All questions will be baseball questions, sometimes relating directly to MLB Showdown, but not always.
2) While it is impossible to regulate this, please refrain from using an internet search engine to find the answer. If you know it, congratulations! If you have a fairly educated guess, give it a shot. We ask for your honesty in following this guideline.
3) Twitter answers must include the hashtag #TriviaThursday and be sent to me @RokTikiTiki in order to be counted. Those sent to @MLBShowdownGuru do not count.
4) If no correct guess is made by the following Wednesday at noon ET, there will be no winner for that week. A hint will be added on Friday, Monday, and Tuesday until there is a correct guess or the Wednesday deadline is reached.
Current Standings:

@Averey25 - 3
