Since we are now expanding this to "4-somes"....how about this succession of Yankees Managers......

Joe McCarthy
Bill Dickey
Bucky Harris
Casey Stengel

This now opens the door to a myriad number of answers.

St Louis Cardinals

1980 - 1990 Dorrel Norman Elvert Herzog
1990 - 1996 Joe Torre
1996 - current Tony LaRussa


Not sure if Whitey will make it (he should). But Torre and LaRussa are locks.

[sbfinley]

June 21 1950
Early Wynn (Cle 5 - NYY 1)

June 22 1950
Bob Feller (Cle 6 - NYY 2)

June 23 1950
Bob Lemon (Cle 13 - Wash 4)

Beat that.

[tedzan]

Sam Thompson (RF > 1896)

Ed Delehanty (1B > OF 1897)

Elmer Flick (RF 1898)

My info is somewhat fuzzy as to whether Delehanty played RF, which is the field pos. that Thompson and Flick played.

Some one please check this out.


Thanks,

Delahanty was primarily a left fielder.

I'm a fan of the Cardinals.

But there are holes in the Medwick - Musial - Brock claim for left field.

Musial ONLY played at first base for the 1957 and 1958 seasons. Wally Moon spent a lot of time in Left in 1957, and Del Ennis in 1958. Musial was only in 12 games for the 1941 season.

Ernie Koy was in left for 91 games in 1940, Medwick was out there for 37 games.

In 1932 the Cardinals used 10 different players in left field. Ernie Orsatti played out there for 40 games, more than anyone else. Orsatti played 55 games in center. Joe Medwick was in 26 games for the Cardinals that year, 7 in left and 19 in center. Can't hardly claim a streak from Hafey to Medwick with that gap.

I still think there are more...
