Trivia

With yesterday's leadoff home run, Kenny Loften became just the third player in major league history to hit a home run for ten different teams. Who holds the major league record for home runs hit for eleven different teams?

Todd Zeile?

We have a winner.

That was a guess. I knew Todd wore a lot of different uniforms. Who is the third player beside Zeile and Lofton to hit homers for 10 teams?

[Sandgnat]

Dan Brouthers who played 19 seasons from 1879-1904 (HOF'er) and Tom Brown who played for 17 seasons from 1882-1898 and was a player-manager for Washington in 1897 and 1898 compiling a 64-72 record.

Loved his farewell tour...not

[dinosaur jesus]

Dan Brouthers's farewell tour? I missed that one. Big Dan hit home runs for the Troy Trojans, the Buffalo Bisons, the Detroit Wolverines, the Boston Beaneaters, the Boston Reds (Players' League), the Boston Reds (American Association; that's three Boston franchises in three leagues in three years), the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, the Baltimore Orioles, the Louisville Colonels, and the Philadelphia Phillies. He's probably kicking himself now that he didn't hit one in his brief comeback with the New York Giants eight years after he'd retired.
