Baseball trivia time. There is a retired player who played for Milwaukee, Houston, Los Angeles (Dodgers), and Boston. Who is he?
Hint? Like decade or position, etc.
Infielder who retired in 2009.

I cheated and used a baseball-reference to get the answer. Tep, here's your hint: Think the Beatles "Get Back."

Ha, ha! Awesome hint!

One of my co-workers hit me with this today. He couldn't remember the name of the player...but he knew he was the last guy to bat at County Stadium - which is how I knew who it was.

Here's another fun baseball trivia question:

There are 4 players who hit more than 500 home runs in the career who played their first - and last - MLB games in the same town...but with different teams. Who are they?

Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron for sure.

Decades of mediocrity has ensured no dislike or resentment, so their success feels like a validation of patience and faith.
Jays fans held some resentment for Kansas...

I'll award half points for that answer as Reggie played his first and last games with the same franchise - but in different cities. First game was with the Kansas City Athletics and final game was with the Oakland Athletics.

I know this hurts, but Toronto doesn't count.



Nah, I've mellowed enough that I hope the Leafs (or, sigh, the Jays) get over the top in your near-lifetime.

Willie Mays—Giants and Mets—has to be one.
