I'll wager a guess and say Pete Rose
Toy Cannon

Nope, not Pete.

Not Yogi, but you're moving up the ladder.

Another guess...Charlie Silvera
Toy Cannon
02-26-2004, 04:03 PM
Not Silvera. We're looking for a pitcher.

Sal Maglie?
Toy Cannon
02-27-2004, 07:32 PM
Not the Barber. Two of his teammates were Waite Hoyt and Al SImmons.

Damn TC!! How do you keep coming up with these great questions that are about to drive me crazy?:banghead

Another guess: LeRoy Mahaffey?:umm
Toy Cannon
02-28-2004, 07:45 PM
Not Roy Mahaffey :naughty:

He played on one team that had 5 future HOF'ers and a HOF manager. Another team had 5 future HF'ers.

He also played with 2 different "Reds".

George Earnshaw?
Yellow Dog
02-28-2004, 11:28 PM
Sam Jones?
Toy Cannon
02-29-2004, 12:51 AM
Koz and YD are both on he right track. He was a teammate of both Earnshaw and Jones.

won't be long now :bigsquare

Am I to assume this guy was a teammates of Jones, Hoyt, Simmons and Earnshaw but possibly not in one given year?
Toy Cannon
02-29-2004, 02:40 AM
You assume correctly.
Panzram
02-29-2004, 03:01 AM
Gee that doesn't make it easy. :banghead

Joe Bowman?
Toy Cannon
02-29-2004, 09:20 AM
Not Bowman. For his career, he lost more games than he won.
Yellow Dog
02-29-2004, 10:37 AM
Joe Bush?
Toy Cannon
02-29-2004, 11:25 AM
Not Bullet Joe, but he was a teammate of Bush on 2 different teams.

Its got to be Milt Gaston?
Panzram
02-29-2004, 01:49 PM
I think YD is right. Gaston would be my next guess.

Ted Lyons
Al SImmons
Jocko Conlon
Luke Appling
Red Farber
Red Ruffing
Bucky Harris
Sam Rice
Goose Goslin
Joe Cronin
George Sisler
Miller Huggins
Babe Ruth
Earl Coombs

No it wasn't that hard at all. It ONLY took me, koz, Obri and bama a combined total of 4 less guesses than the total number of HOFers he played with.

Its good to have put that one to rest! But that was a GREAT question. Without the clues, I would have been guessing from now to doomsday and still never come close to thinking of Gaston.
