I mentioned him earlier. He definitely deserves a mention!

Jeff Suppan was another one. He managed to pitch 17 seasons and started nearly all the games he appeared in, more than 400 games and 2,500 innings.

He compiled a losing record of 140-146 with a 4.70 ERA (!) and a career ERA+ of 97.

I believe Jackson is tied with Rich Hill for the most franchise changes in a career (15). Or if the 14 figure above is accurate, Hill surpassed him. Hill, anyhow, had multiple stints with multiple teams so we could be talking apples and oranges as between number of franchises and franchise changes.

During the second half of his career I was always surprised to see him show up on a new team

To illustrate how reading a random thread piques your interest and sends you down a rabbit hole, I found this:

"In 1993, Jose Canseco of the Texas Rangers pitched one inning against the Boston Red Sox, conceding two hits, three walks, and three earned runs before injuring his arm; the resulting Tommy John surgery ended his season."

He had a long career and apparently was a terrible pitcher.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
