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.

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.

Having been stumped on this, took a deep dive and discovered there are four others (Green Bay Phoenix, William & Mary Tribe, Hofstra Pride, Long Beach St Beach), so there's nine total.
