The only players to play for both Detroit in the NL and AL are Thompson and McGuire who were already mentioned and an infielder named Frank Scheibeck who played just one game in 1888 with the NL team and only three games with the AL team in 1906.

Also when Thompson hit 20 HR's in 1889 it was the 5th highest total ever,he was right behind Anson who had hit 21 five years prior but Anson was outhomered by three of his teammates that year.
