On every night throughout the year, one of the TYA writers will post a trivia question as the nightly open thread. The blog administrators will keep track of the winners, and the commenter with the most correct answers will win a prize that has yet to be decided upon. The answers will be posted in the following evening’s open thread.
Yesterday’s Question: Yesterday, Texas owner Chuck Greenberg resigned as the managing partner of the Texas Rangers after just 7 months. Which Yankee owner was forced out by his partners after just two years at the helm by a series of confrontations following a world series celebration? (Hint: the patriarch of a famous baseball family)
Answer: Larry MacPhail (1945-1947)
Today’s Question: Former Yankee Alfredo Aceves has pitched well for the Red Sox this spring, and is even being considered for a spot in their rotation. 211 players (100 pitchers) have played for both the Yanks and Red Sox. How many can you name?

I’ll start by including Babe Ruth,,,Carl Mays…Red Ruffing…Sparky Lyle….Mike Torrez…Bill Monboquette…Roger Clemens….Jack Quinn…Ernie Shore…Herb Pennock…Sad Sam Jones…Waite Hoyt,,Harry Harper….Bobo Newsom….Ken Brett…Luis Tiant…Frank Tanana…Lee Smith..Greg Harris…Jeff Reardon…Paul Quantrill…Mike Stanton…Tom Gordon…Mike Myers…Alan Embree…
That’s all I can remember…I would guess that about 35-40 pitchers played for both teams…
Almost forgot David Cone, David Wells, Ramiro Mendoza, and Steve Farr.
I didn’t incliude Carl Pavano because he never made it to majors…
And Jack Chesbro.
That’s got to be a huge number let me take a guess 100 ?
211. Too many for anyone to name, so I changed the question. This was a previous draft I thought I had deleted.
My apologies, I just noticed a previous draft accidentally published. The question has been updated, just name as many as you can.
Sorry last time I checked there was 211 players that played for both teams but only 100 pitcher who pitched for both teams
Danny Cater and Sparky Lyle immediately sprang to my mind.
