Span? Warren Spahn? Denard Span? One was mostly a Brave, the other always a Twin, with no NY or Chi appearances. AFAIK, the only 3 are those listed above. (source)Yeah I just googled trivia and got that ? Off a Yankees blog. The other name they gave was Span. Can you confirm?
edit: OK, apparently Spahn has a late-career NYM visit. So sue me.
edit2: fact check, fact check, fact check!

Damn TWC... you beat me to it. But I only came up with Charley Smith ... in his obituary. He was traded to the Yankees from the Cardinals for none other than.....Roger Maris.
....and, if you can keep your head about you while those around you are losing theirs; then, you ...........probably don't understand the gravity of the situation!

I am with you TWC on finding "Span". I located Denard (a current minor leaguer) and Brian (a former minor leaguer). And Spahn never played in the American League.

Apparently we should moderate the Moderator... or perhaps the Moderator should learn some moderation.I am with you TWC on finding "Span". I located Denard (a current minor leaguer) and Brian (a former minor leaguer). And Spahn never played in the American League.

So here's my poor source http://forums.nyyfan...hp/t-49097.html there are actually multiple trivia questions going on and in my haste (ya know educating students) I made a mistake, I guess BetterNews is right he is the only correct person in the world.
I must say its rather odd that only three players have been on these 4 teams.
Btw it is very tough to find Dick Tidrow trivia, there really isn't much that is actually true.
As for the WS question the answer is 3 76,77,78 with the Yanks
