Everyone keeps mentioning that playing for one team is unusual in this day and age. This is not true. If you look at all the HOFers, I think there are more modern HOFers that played with one team, then pre-war players. Look at all the these greats that played for multiple teams; Ruth, Cobb, Mathewson, Wagner, Young, Collins, Lajoie, etc. Players like Crawford and Johnson, that spent their entire career's with one team were the exception and not the rule back then.

We've probably had more players in the modern era play for one team; Puckett, B Robinson, J Robinson, Yount, Brett, Gwynn, Mantle, DiMaggio, Yaz, Clemete, Gibson, Koufax, Ripken, Biggio, Palmer and several others that I am forgetting.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
