Repeat Offenders...




I remembered someone commenting on how the great superstars of the past stuck with one team for their whole entire careers and how that just doesn't happen anymore. Obviously the Tony Gwynn's and Cal Ripken Jr.'s aside this is pretty much accurate due to the advent of free agency.

This got me thinking. I looked through the KOD5 rosters and found more than a dozen superstars/HOF'ers who are playing on 2 KOD teams ! Here's the list I compiled:
Jeff Kent-->'96 CLE & '97 SF
Fernando Valenzuela--> '85 LA & '96 SD
Orel Hershiser-->'85 LA & 96 CLE
Reggie Jackson-->'71 OAK & '82 CAL
Rollie Fingers--> '71 OAK & '81 MIL
Pedro Martinez--> '94 MTL & '03 BOS
Manny Ramirez--> '96 CLE & '03 BOS
Julio Franco-->'94 CHW & '96 CLE
Jack McDowell-->'94 CHW & '96 CLE
Robin Ventura--> '94 CHW & '02 NYY

...and Al Oliver, who is playing on 3 KOD5 teams !!! '72 PIT, '85 TOR & '85 LA
