And let's not forget about the Washington Senators and Washington Nationals, of course only guys like Julio Franco or Ricky Henderson could have probably played for both. ;)

Ruth (Boston Red Sox/Braves)
Mays (New York Giants/Mets)
Aaron (Milwaukee Braves/Brewers)


The 3 easiest ones down, at least 3 to go.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

(I was at game 3 in 86 when that started - too bad the game was over in the 2nd inning)

Darryl Strawberry started for the Mets and was last arrested as a Yankee

#3  Yogi Berra also retired a Met after starting with the Yankees

Good one with Berra, didn't have him on the list, probably because he was a player/coach with the Mets. So that brings the total up to 7, with at least 3 still not named.  (See I say least because I knew there would be guys I didn't have on the list like Berra).

TP's for all the right answers so far, and SShorefan 3.0 I would give you more for Berra since he wasn't on my list if I could...

and Darryl makes 5...
