Man if I could transition from one year to the next instead of overlap I could kill it

Cap Anson 1871 - 1897
Nick Altrock 1898 - 1933
Bobo Newsom 1929 - 1953
Minnie Minoso 1949 - 1980
Rickey Henderson 1979 - 2003
Albert Pujols 2001 - Present

But for missing by one year at the beginning I did it in 6, so I could definitely patch in any player to cover that year and hit 7

Those players did not play continuously for those spans, at least not Altrock or Minoso. Coming back for one game as a stunt does not count IMO. Minoso's career ended in 1964 not 1980 by any meaningful definition.

Using Keith O's players and with A Rod as the next player in the succession, you can get from Anson to 2016 in 7 players.

Cap Anson (1871-1897)
Honus Wagner (1897-1917)
Rogers Hornsby (1915-1937)
Bob Feller (1936-1956)
Brooks Robinson (1955-1977)
Eddie Murray (1977-1997)
A Rod (1994-2016)

If Hornsby had just played a few games in 1938, you could then use Enos Slaughter to get to 1959, Jim Kaat to get to 1983, and Julio Franco to get to 2007, which would give you a lot of options for current players and you would have it done in 7 with room to go.
