Trivia Time - same city, different team

[scooter729]

There have been 16 Hall of Famers who have begun and ended their careers playing in the same city, but for different teams. Name them.

Hint: Brooklyn counts as part of New York for this question.

Another hint: I didn't list this question as off-topic, since most answers are applicable to the pre-war aspect of the board.

10 correct answers so far:
Yogi Berra, 1946 NY Yankees and 1965 NY Mets
Dizzy Dean, 1930 St. Louis Cardinals and 1947 St. Louis Browns.
Jimmie Foxx, 1925 Philadelphia Athletics and 1945 Philadelphia Phillies.
Jim Bottomley, 1922 St. Louis Cardinals and 1937 St. Louis Browns.
Rogers Hornsby, 1915 St. Louis Cardinals and 1937 St. Louis Browns.
Nap Lajoie, 1896 Philadelphia Phillies and 1916 Philadelphia Athletics.
Babe Ruth -- 1914 Boston Red Sox and 1935 Boston Braves.
Hank Aaron -- 1954 Milwaukee Braves and 1976 Milwaukee Brewers.
Willie Mays -- 1951 NY Giants and 1973 NY Mets.
Ron Santo -- 1960 Chicago Cubs and 1974 White Sox.

I'll play along. I'll name one to give others a chance to answer too.

Willie Mays: started with NY Giants. Ended with NY Mets.

Hank Aaron is another non-prewar answer.

Can't name all 16 but I know Napolean Lajoie started with the Phillies and ended with the A's.

Oops... David beat me to the enter key.

Snider is incorrect

Berra

I know Yogi Berra played a few games for the Mets at the end of his career.

I also know Lajoie started with the Phillies and ended with the A's and Hornsby started with the Cards and ended with the Browns.

Are you only looking for members of the Hall of Fame that are there primarily for their playing career? Leo Durocher was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1994, undoubtedly for his managing, but also had a decent playing career that began with the New York Yankees in 1925 and ended with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1945.
