Al Simmons played with Ty Cobb for the 1927 Philadelphia Athletics
If you include Jim Kaat's broadcasting career, most notably as the TV guy for the Yankees during the mid90s-00s, then surely he's called several games pitched by Moyer. So you can bypass Lonnie Smith, and get there with only 3 degrees of separation.
