Only one player in major league history has accomplished this feat.

Name him.....and name the 4 teams that apply here.

Le Grande Orange

Rusty Staub with Mets, Expos, Tigers and Astros.

Right you are. Solid!

Roberto Alomar came very close to being the second.

Toronto: 832
Cleveland: 564
San Diego: 497
Baltimore: 496

Wow. That is unbelievably close! Seven hits.....

**uthminsta** · 05-18-2005, 06:38 AM

Who else is close to that?

Since 1901 there are 3 guys who have 200+ with 5 or more franchises (Jack Glasscock and Tom Brown were pre-1901).

Roberto Alomar
Toronto: 832
Cleveland: 564
San Diego: 497
Baltimore: 496
New York Mets 226

Gary Sheffield
Los Angeles 583
Florida 538
Atlanta 341
Milwaukee 287
San Diego 260
New York Yankees 216 and counting

Don Baylor
LA at Anaheim 813
Baltimore 82
New York Yankees 401
Boston 220
Oakland 205

So Sheffield is the only one with 250+ with 5 or more teams. He entered this season with 166 for the Yankees so he most likely will add a 6th team before the year is over.
