Trivia 1946 to 2007 in three players

[Peter_Spaeth]

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.

Answer to numero uno

200 game winners by 1954

Bob Lemon
Early Wynn
Bob Feller
Hal Newhouser

Best starter by ERA - Mike Garcia

Hall of Fame of Ears - Don Mossi

Team - the Cleveland Indians

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

[Peter_Spaeth]

1956 to present: Moe Drabowsky, Goose Gossage, A Rod.

Excerpts from the attached article . . .

Eddie Murray's the eighth man. When he broke in, Brooks Robinson was still playing. And when Robinson broke in, Bob Feller was still playing. And when Feller broke in, Rogers Hornsby was still playing. And when Hornsby broke in, Honus Wagner was still playing. And when Wagner broke in, Cap Anson was still playing. And when Anson broke in, Dickey Pearce was still playing. And when Pearce broke in, Doc Adams was still playing. Adams played for the Knickerbocker club in the first organized game of baseball in 1846, number one of the eight men whose careers cover the 152 seasons since.

B.J. Upton played with Fred McGriff who played with Phil Niekro who played with Warren Spahn who played with Ernie Lombardi who played with Jack Quinn who played with Willie Keeler who played with Jim O'Rourke who played with George Wright who started at shortstop for the first all-professional team, the 1869 Cincinnati Reds.

Yep. But Frank's answer might have been the answer to a different question.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Frank Robinson-Dennis Eckersley-Jason Giambi gets you 59 years 1956-2014

If you take out the teammate requirement, and substitute a played against one, you get this question, not difficult but still pretty amazing. Name a pitcher who pitched to both a player who started in 1939 and a player who retired in 2007, 68 years apart.

Ted Williams, 1939-1960
Jim Kaat, 1959-1983 (Senators in '59-60, Cardinals in '80-'83)
Julio Franco, 1982-2007 (broke in with Phillies in '82)
Don't know for a fact that Kaat faced either Williams or Franco, but I don't know who else whose careers overlapped.
