He is the opposite of George Sisler and Harry Heilmann (who couldn't quite get into either set).

Alexander too, although he did make it into Cracker Jacks.

I haven't tried yet, but with Pujols retirement after a 20+ year career, I was wondering, can you get from Cap Anson to Pujols in 6 players using only teammates, no managers? (basically you can only have 4 in between)
Scott did you know the guys that started 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon?

I was a year behind them in school at Albright. Of course the story of it's origins is a little different now than what I heard when it all went down, which was that they were stoned off their asses watching Tremors.

Now do it in exactly 9 steps, where everyone plays a different position on the diamond.

Thomas Jefferson died in 1826.

It would only take one person to link a person alive today to the birth of our nation. I’m sure there were many people who lived the entire 78 year span necessary.

Think about it. There were people who were alive during the same time as Thomas Jefferson - and - during the same time as someone alive today.
John Adams also lived until 1826 and he was older than Jefferson having been born in 1735. So just one step between someone living in 1735 and someone living today. Insane.

In the spirit of the thread, and we did this years ago, who pitched to both Ted Williams and Julio Franco?

Was it Jim Kaat?

Yeah.

Eck pitched to Hank Aaron and who on the other end, maybe Jeter?

Colon retired after Ortiz. So the 10th man was a rookie in 2018. The question then becomes, which 2018 rookie is going to have the longest career?

How about Juan Soto as the 10th man? He was a 19 year old rookie in 2018, and is already a superstar. He could, potentially, take us through 2040.

I love these longevity discussions. Nolan Ryan pitched to both Willie Mays and Ken Griffey Jr.

Early Wynn pitched to Al Simmons and Carl Yastrzemski.

Well, what if we count All-Star Games.... It opens it up to new players. :)

Charlie Hough did that too though.

Maybe make it tougher and say Ryan threw to Frank Thomas and Frank Thomas?

I like that Ryan pitched to Jim Gilliam and Manny Ramirez.

He might have also pitched to Joe Nuxhall.

Al Kaline hit against Bob Feller and Goose Gossage.

JollyElm 12-13-2022 07:20 PM
Not sure if he's been brought up, but Minnie Miñoso adds a bit of intrigue to this scenario. He started with the Indians in 1949, and technicalities aside, he played his last game in 1980, so he could serve as a huge bridge in this Kevinbaconesque game.

Peter_Spaeth 12-13-2022 07:40 PM
Perhaps my favorite so far. Gaylord Perry pitched to Stan Musial and Wade Boggs.

When you are working on longevity questions, Jack Quinn can be a handy Swiss army knife as he pitched from 1909 to 1933. Geronimo died the year he was a rookie. Yoko Ono was born the year he hung it up.
