And just to head off any agruements, the callendar is set up such that it dates things in this order: 3BCE, 2BCE, 1BCE, 1CE, 2CE, 3CE, etc. there is no zero year, so the counting doesn't start until 1 and the first decade ends with 10. This is also why we didn't offcially enter the 21st century until the year 2001.
Jim Kaat is one of the few people to actually play in 4 different decades. Ted Williams is NOT one of them.
