Curious Coincidences - Where Who winds up statistically paired with forever:

[clydepepper]

Okay- I got bored.

The following pairs or groups are forever linked to one another via one of their final statistics.

I just thought it was interested how some players who had little or nothing in common would wind up paired in history.

I have listed a few that were also paired in more obvious ways, but that's not the topic of this excursion.


To be clear, the object is to figure out what link ties the pairs or groups to each other.


1) HOF Catchers Carlton Fisk & Mike Piazza along with HOFers Sunny Jim Bottomley and Wee Willie Keeler.


2) Dusty Baker and David Wright


3) Andruw Jones and Dale Murphy


4) Joe Mauer & Kirby Puckett


5) Joe Ferguson, Joe Girardi and George Mitterwald


6) Darren Daulton and Steve Yeager


7) Adrian Beltre, Gary Carter & Minnie Minoso


8) Eric Chavez and Miguel Tejada


9) Joe Morgan and Cap Anson


10) Darrell Evans and Scott Rolen


11) Joe DiMaggio and Tony Gwynn


12) Chipper Jones and Rob Deer


13) Jeff Francoeur, Tommy Harper & Ichiro Suzuki
