Got 8 of 10 but had to look two up so I won't post. It's interesting that 3 are all in one state.

I'll add the Jets and Giants, kings and Rangers.
How about the Bucks, Bucs and Bucs for extra credit? @SockCymbal

Playing off the Holy Cross connection, can you name two other Holy Cross HS players that went on to play at UConn?

MLB: Who has 500 hits for 4 different teams, yet did not reach 3000?

As it wasn't Alomar, I had to go look it up. Nobody else has taken a stab at this, so I think it deserves a hint - three of the clubs were expansion teams.

 

[SockCymbal]

Last one for me: name 7 NCAA school who play d1 basketball whose team name includes no colors, no animal names, and does not end in "s."

 

[Madmannsucks]

Willie mays and hank aaron? Or frank Robinson? Actually, I'll throw hank Greenberg.
(This is an awesome question btw)

I had to look it up. The names shocked me. Ruth and Gherig.

Is this Johnny Damon?

Royals, A's, Red Sox, Yankees?

Edit: s___, I cheated, looks like he only had 3 teams he played with for a while, not enough time with any 4th.

Thought it was Fred McGriff, and if he didn't get traded from SD to ATL, it could have been.

The Oilers used to be a correct answer. Houston and Edmonton.

I looked it up AFTER the fact. I was right.

Damn. Good work. Le Grande Orange. There's a great book about the expos franchise, he's a center piece. He could've run for office in that city they loved him so much.
