Trivia Question
 

Just stumbled across something really freaking cool.

NO EFFIN' CHEATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who is the only major leaguer to hit a home run as a member of more than 10 different teams?

Who was the FIRST...not THE ONLY, no, no, no, 'just' the FIRST...and who knows, there may be even more of them out there...major leaguer to hit a home run as a member of more than 10 different teams?

My guess would be Matt Stairs, he played for a lot of teams and was a power hitter.

Sheffield? Seemed like he played for every team there was.

Close but not quite for Tommy Davis. Played for 10, homered for nine.

Is it someone that should be in the HOF, but isn't (yet)?

No, sir. He did have over 1,000 career RBIs, though, so wasn't too much of a slouch. The only way you would ever know it is if you just happened to run across this bit of trivia, as I did while looking up something about (Warning: Hint alert!!!) my Mets.

Love me some Mets trivia, but are we sure Kenny Lofton didn't do it also?

Hint #2:
The reason I 'found' him was because after seeing the homepage thread of "TV episodes with sports stars in them..." I hit his wiki page, because I knew he was on The King of Queens,* but not playing his ballplayer self, just a regular guy.


*Don't get me started about how ridiculously Californian the references always were on that show. King of my home borough, Queens???? My ass!!!! More like King of L.A.!!!

I was going to guess Paul Bako because he caught for nearly every team in the Western hemisphere, one season at a time, but that Mets hint throws me.

The Wikipedia page for that player is incorrect, Matt Stairs also homered for eleven different teams.

Are you counting the Expos and Nationals as different teams?

Todd Zeile

How frickin' bizarre is this???!!!! It's 1:40 in the AM and I put on 'The King of Queens'...and it happens to be the very one with Todd Zeile in it that I was referring to!!!!! You can't make this stuff up!!!!!!!!!!
What in high hell is going on in the universe????????????

I just checked Baseball Reference, Stairs never homered for the Expos or Nats but he did homer in

Oakland
Kansas City
Philly
Toronto
Pittsburgh
Boston
Texas
San Diego
Chicago Cubs
Detroit
Milwaukee

That's 11 teams.

Zeile was first to do it but he's not the only player to homer for 11 teams.

Crazy, the two teams I thought might have been double counted since they are the same franchise, he didn't hit any HR for.

Darren, time to play the lottery;.

I love it when one of my trivia answers is ten, and someone here comes up with an answer of eleven. It sort of makes my Elm not so jolly for a while.:mad:

The question has been officially updated in the OP. :cool:

My guess is Bobby Bonds. But I am probably wrong.

The answer already was given.

Close, Bonds homered for 8 teams
