Richard, are you talking most in a career...because I think Walter Johnson holds that by himself...I could be wrong.

How about this one...who is the only player to get a hit for two different teams on the same day in two different cities?

I know that one - Joel Youngblood

Jon is right, that is def Youngblood.
Here is a question/trivia...who are the only guys to play or manage for the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers and Giants?
I'll start off with Darryl Strawberry.

He didn't say "baseball." He said "sports."
Brodeur just notched his 110th.

Joel Youngblood is correct...I love that question. And yes, I missed the "sports" part of Richards's question. Guess I have my head only in baseball these days.

My turn:
Who is the only baseball player to get the first hit at the opening of 2 different stadiums?

I'll take a shot at Rob's question...I believe one of the answers is Casey Stengel.

Johnson and Brodeur are correct.
One eagle eye (Jim) saw that I said sports and not baseball :):).

Who is the only major league player to have hit a home run in every inning from the 1st through the 16th?
And I'll add another: what legendary sport's figure was alive when Lincoln was assassinated, and when Kennedy was assassinated (events that took place over 98 years apart)?

Apparently, Scott saw it too, as he got the correct answer, immediately!

Jose Vizcaino played for all four teams.

I'll start off with Darryl Strawberry.
From purely a player point of view, the answer is Strawberry, Vizcaino and Ricky Ledee. Vizcaino and Ledee also played for other teams. I think Straw is the only guy to play for just those four teams.
The manager aspect adds another wrinkle...

In answer to Barry's question, it's Amos Alonzo Stagg. Admit to having to look that one up.

Good job, almost forgot about Ledee...I always get him confused with Ruben Rivera...but Ledee never stole Jeter's glove.....

BARRY - Willie Mays was the one to hit HR in innings 1-16. Mays hit the HR in 16th inning in classic Marichal-Spahn pitchers duel, 1963, where they both pitched complete games in a 1-0 classic.

Correct Richard...and the 16th inning home run was a famous one indeed.

As someone who lived and died with the Giants and Willie Mays back then, that was a slam dunk for me :).
Correct Bob, it was Stagg (1862-1965).
Great question, Barry. He sure was the Grand Old Man (as per my alma mater's fight song).
WAVE THE FLAG
Wave the flag of old Chicago,
Maroon the color grand.
Ever shall her team be victors
Known throughout the land.
With the grand old man to lead them,
Without a peer they'll stand.
Wave again the dear old banner,
For they're heroes ev'ry man.
