I know this is illegal for this thread, but, I can't resist.

Which Celtic starter played major league baseball? (very briefly)

I forgot the "besides Danny" part. Sorry.

Another Celtic who played MLB only briefly?

My guess would be the rifleman but no idea if he actually got to majors.

Cool guess, but no.

Further hint...NBA HOF. (doesn't narrow it down that much)

He's also the only player in MLB history to have been ejected without ever appearing in an actual game :)

Correct!!
Won't post the name since I had to look it up -- mostly because I can't name all of the old HOFs off the top of my head (*ducks*).

Yeah I had to look it up once you mentioned that, and I never would have gotten it

I would add that he's been inducted into the HOF twice
I'm bitter.

That quite literally limited it to just two people, and it's obviously not Tommy H :P

There aren't exactly a lot of lakes in LA either...

Unless that was sarcasm, in which case well played.

The Celtics are 1 of 2 of the original NBA teams that has not changed its name or its city.  What is the other?  Again no cheating and looking it up.

I have no ideas, but if I had to guess I would say New York Knicks OR Chicago Bulls?

If he never appeared in a MLB game, then can he said to have 'played' major league ball?

By the way I found another Celtic player that actually played MLB, he did not start for the Celtics though he contributed to three Celtic championships as a backup.
