Baseball Question on Jeopardy tonight???

[suave1477]

NDevlin no the questions is who was the first player to play for all 4 current and former New York Teams???

Strawberry played for:
Mets
Dodgers
Giants
Yankees

[suave1477]

Xpress I know, but I had to add it as he does hold that record and I am honest about my favorite player

[ndevlin]

Ohhhh, gotcha.

I thought you were asking who played for Brooklyn, NY Mets, NY Yankees, NY Giants.

Brooklyn and NY Giants being former. Yankees/Mets being current.

Honestly, I was pretty close to coming up with one:-)

[suave1477]

Actually no on else did it before Starwberry while all 4 teams were in new York mets didnt exist until after the Dodgers and Giants left

[ndevlin]

True, but if you were to play for the Dodgers in 56, the Giants in 57, the Yankees 58-61, and the Mets 62-63.

8 yr career covering all 4 teams. It was possible. Thats why I was throwing out players like Zimmer and Neal.

[suave1477]

Thats possible, but no one did all 4 teams till the Straw man lol lol

New Question:

Only THREE HOFers have ever gone on to eventually hold the position of Team President.

Nolan Ryan is the latest.

Can you name the other two? And the teams?

Eddie Collins
Hank Greenburg

Ken

Ken -

Nice guess, but you still need to go back a bit further...

The last HOFer to become a Team President prior to Ryan was 'Big Six' - Christy Mathewson who became President of the Boston Braves in 1923 and 1925...

But there is still one more...

Anyone?
