Teammates

[Edgy MD]

Willie Mays and Darryl Strawberry shared six teammates. Who were they?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Tom Seaver.

Rusty Staub.

[Benjamin Grimm]

But probably not Sal Maglie.

[Edgy MD]

Seaver and Staub correct.

Maglie incorrect.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I just thought of two more, but I'll refrain from posting so others get a chance.

Craig Swan?

[Edgy MD]

Swannie is our third.

[Benjamin Grimm]

My two guys are both right-handed power hitters who were Willie's teammates in San Francisco.

[Edgy MD]

Leave the hints to me, Hinty McHintface!

Ron Hodges

Young men with a future George Foster and Dave Kingman.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And they both have the same middle name!

[Edgy MD]

Hodges, Foster, and Kingman round out the list.

Dwight Gooden and Matt Harvey have shared one teammate. Name him.

Their dealer?

[G-Fafif]

Bartolo Colon (teammate, not dealer).

[Edgy MD]

That we know of. Correct!

Mickey Mantle and Lee Mazzilli have had one teammate in common. Name him.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wow!

Totally wild guess: Doc Medich?

Bobby Murcer.

[Edgy MD]

FaFiF is hot. Doc and Lee were teammates for one game at least, but not Doc and the Mick.

Murcer joined Lido on the 1982 Yanks and Mickey on the 1965-66 team of the same name.

Howard Johnson and David Wright had three teammates in common. Name them.

[Benjamin Grimm]

John Franco is one of them.

[Edgy MD]

John Franco is! He joined Johnson on the 1990-1993 Mets and Wright on the 2003-2004 edition.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Todd unZeile!

[G-Fafif]

A couple of '95 Cubs: Steve Trachsel and Todd Zeile.

[Edgy MD]

JCL is correct with Todd Zeile who joined HoJo on the 1995 Cubs and Dudley on the 2004 Mets.

Steve Trachsel, guessed along with Zeile by G-FaFiF, was also a member of those same 1995 Cubs and later 'shipped with Wright on the 2003-2006 Mets.

José Oquendo and Rey Ordóñez had six teammates in common. Name them.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The universal answer: Todd Zeile

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bernard Gilkey

[Edgy MD]

Todd Zeile is a pretty good universal answer. Todd joined José on the 1989-1995 Cards, and then found a similarly power-starved teammate in Rey on the 1999-2000 Mets.

Gilkey is also correct, joining José (and Todd) on the 1990-1995 Cards and then Rey on the 1996 to 1998 Mets.

It's amazing how Oquendo lasted just long enough to hand a torch off to Rey.

[G-Fafif]

Don't pin 2003's mess on Wright. He didn't come up until 2004.

[G-Fafif]

Allen Watson

[Edgy MD]

Allen Watson had a front row seat to the redundant artistry of Ozzie Smith and José Oquendo with the 1993-1995 Cards, and then got a similar view of Rey Ordóñez with the 1999 Mets.

Allen is also an honored recipient of the Bob Friend Award, given to the rare player who spends exactly one season in New York, but splits it between the Yankees and Mets.

Three more connectors between José and Rey.
