Correct.

 

[Diamond Jim]

That is correct. Brock, Aaron and Adcock.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

That was a great question. I like the ones that aren't found with google.

Now here is another question that is good for free beer.

Who is the only Brave to play in Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Phil Niekro? Eddie Mathews?

 

[cybok0]

That was a great question. I like the ones that aren't found with google.

Are you saying I cheated? He said it was a teammate of Aaron. Adcock was a power hitting first baseman for the Braves.

Now here is another question that is good for free beer.

Who is the only Brave to play in Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta.

OK, that's got to be Eddie Mathews.

According to my source, "Take Me Out To The Ballpark" by the Sporting News, Arron and Adcock did it on consecutive days.

I'm confused. You said the other 2 were teammates, and you confirmed Hank Aaron as being one. When did Brock play for the Braves? How about Stan Musial?

If I'm NOT mistaken Brock never played for the Braves. He was traded from the Cubs to St Louis for pitcher Ernie Broglio.

 

[Diamond Jim]

OK, that's got to be Eddie Mathews.

Yes, Eddie's rookie season (1952) was the Braves last season in Boston and his last season (1966) with the Braves was the first season in Atlanta. He played with Detroit in 1967 and ended his Hall Of Fame career with Houston in 1968.

The most popular answer is Henry Aaron or Warren Spann. Henry never played in Boston, his rookie year was the first in Milwaukee and Spannie never played in Atlanta, he left the Braves after the 1964 season, retiring at the end of the 1965 season which he played with the Mets and Giants.

Now..... let's get to my 3 Olympian Gold Medel question. I don't know if the answer is published anywhere. I know the answer because their high school was my high school's arch rival.

I was referring to that maybe google wouldn't be of much help on that question. Just more fun when you CAN"T google the answer.

You are correct, Lou was traded by the Cubs to the Cardinals on June 30, 1964. At that time, the trading deadline. He was a major factor in the Cardnials catching the Phillies (Phillies helped the Cards out) and beating the Yankees :shocked :shocked in the World Series.
