LOL.... for at least 50 seconds, I thought you were talking about "Hit Songs".... I was sitting here trying to remember who the heck "Tris Speaker" was/is.
I am TUNED OUT of baseball... for quite a long time now.

Love the top guy from Minnesota - Prince has been one of my top 5 musicians since the early 1980's. For Bevo's sake, the other 4 are The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Queen and Elton John.

Since Joe Mauer is from Minnesota, I think Princes inclusion is basically TIC.

Since Joe Mauer is from Minnesota, I think Princes inclusion is basically TIC. Yep, the correct answer is Paul Molitor.
Each of the top-five from Minnesota spent time playing for the Twins: Molitor, Dave Winfield, Joe Mauer, Kent Krbek, and Terry Steinbach.
Pennsylvania’s top-five: Stan Musial, Honus Wagner, Ken Griffey Jr., Nellie Fox, and Reggie Jackson — all Hall of Famers.
Josh Phelps, with 380, has 44 percent of all Alaskan hits in MLB history.
Seven of Alabama’s top-eight hit leaders are in the Hall of Fame. The other one is Juan Pierre.
Where is Hen? This is the kind of stat he loves.

Jim Rice - recruited by CFB teams arounmd the country, signed directly with the red Sox out of HS Shoeless Joe Jackson Willie Randolph Al Rosen

Without any research at all I think California, New York, Pennsylvania and surprisingly Alabama and Maryland would have strong lists. I'll work on PA ( my native state)

Odd not to see Willie Mays and Babe Ruth on a list that includes numerous no-names.
