I have a hard time imagining him playing for a team and not homering.  I could be wrong, though.  I just seem to remember him playing for a large number of teams for such a star.

Ooh, didn't Robby Alomar play for some ungodly number of teams?  He has to be on this list.

His first year he hit 1 HR for the KC A’s...next year they were Oakland A’s....I didn’t count that as different team.

Nope, just looked it up. Played for the A's in KC and Oakland. But only 4 teams total. Crazy.

Well shit.  I stand corrected.  Never would have guessed he was only with four teams.

Two players on this list actually played more than 5 teams but didn’t HR for 1

Rickey Henderson played for a million teams toward the end of his career, too.  I don't know how much he was homering, though.

Wait, so we have Robby and Morris?

Is that a 'no' on Rickey?

lol  9 teams.  That just feels like Rickey Henderson.

Hall of Famers after 1950 who have homered on at least five teams.  So far, we have Morris, Robby, Thome, Murray, Baines, and Rickey.

So one more?

That’s him...didn’t hit 1 for a 6th team

 

Good job! Al Simmons old school did it for 7 teams.

I did not check pitchers. Wondering if one of those guys maybe did.
