Easy mistake to make as his RC is 1960, Ted's last year. One of the few players in that era to have a card before his ML debut, I would think? But his first game was 1961.

Okay, i get it, now lets change the question.

All three players must have been right handed or all three could be left handed. All three must have played the same position (at least part of the time) for the same team (so they were possibly platooned during their overlap (don't you just love righty-righty platoons)). Finally all three players must have had 34 inch waists and preferred chewing tobacco to cigarettes.

I admit, I was doing it off of the top of my head and Yaz's 1960 rookie card entered into my thinking.

Name these two teams.

1. This team had 4 pitchers who already had won 200 games, plus another pitcher who became a HOFer and another pitcher who was their best starter.

2. This team had 5 pitchers who had won or would go on to win 200 games.

Here's another good one....

Brooks Robinson (1955-1977)
Eddie Murray (1977-1997)
Paul Konerko (1997-2014)

59 years.

Not the one I had in mind but good. Mine requires another HOF pitcher and another pitcher who was their best starter.
