Akajason18 · 08-30-15, 04:21 PM

Mr. Teaser · 08-30-15, 04:50 PM

Mr. Teaser · 08-30-15, 04:50 PM

I guess this qualifies

, but I'd like to not count it because that one game was S Larkins only appearance in mlb. Have no idea how long he was on the roster.

The 4 players I know about all played a lot of games ( >50) that year and had multi year careers - one had a pretty short career., but more than just that year.

swordsandtequila · 08-31-15, 12:46 PM

Originally was thinking 2 of the Molina brothers and the Weavers with the Angels, but they missed playing together by a year (I believe that's the case). Stephen Larkin playing in all of one game is what makes it trivia!
