OT .. Need help, this is driving me nuts!
 

I was at a Red Sox game (unfortunately watching Beckett get killed by the Yankees) the other night. They posted a stat on the board that Johnny Damon is only 1 of 3 MLB players to get 600 hits with 3 different teams.

When I got home I tried a Google search to find the answer, but I guess I couldn't phrase the question right so I didn't get any answer close to match the question I was asking. My guesses were Buckner and ARod. Both were good guesses, but neither were correct (Buckner was less than 30 hits away from 600 while he was with the Red Sox).

Just checked, Steve Finley was 5 hits away while with Houston from making the list.

Does anyone out there know the answer?

Thanks,
Dan

"You remember Johnny Damon? You know, the guy with really long hair that Red Sox Nation loved one season and hated the next? Damon in six years with the Royals had 894 hits. In four years with the Sox, he had 730 hits. And now, completing his fourth season with the Yankees, he has 600-plus making him the first player in more than 60 years to collect 600 hits for three different teams -- joining Willie Keeler and Doc Cramer."

Thanks! I would have never guessed!

Neither would I. ;)

Didn't Rusty Staub have 500 or more hits with 4 teams?

Rusty Staub had 500 hits for 4 teams. edit to add LOL great minds in sync

Slacker.

Just to be clear:

Great minds ... OK.

Great guys ... watch out.

Sheffield has over 200 hits for 7 different teams. Must be some sort of record?

Boy, if that is not symptomatic of a wandering malcontent. 200 hits for 7 teams -- and they all screwed him!

Doc Cramer is one
 

I believe his the 20th century player
and there is another one -- either totally 19th century or turn of century

Rich,

A little slow on the trigger? Bob P had the answer about an hour ago. :D

Maybe Rich gave him the Marshall Barkman spam block treatment and didn't see the answer. :)

I tried to answer the q honestly
 

And failed to notice we had a winner!

I like peter's assumption better tho

Well, if that's a valid excuse... I've been meaning to ask, didn't Rusty Staud have 500+ hits for four different teams?

Ask Lichtman.

Awww shucks Peter......does this mean we cannot be friends? I mean i do not think i can bear it if we are not pals.;)

Reggie Jackson.... A's, Yankees, Angels


Nope... not Reggie. only 557 hits for California. Sorry.
