From the Feb. 15th Chicago Tribune.
In baseball news, former Cubbie Kosuke Fukudome is now playing on the South Side for da Sox.
He is not the first baseball player to play for both the Cubs and Sox. A total of 169 have done that. And, the Tribune had a complete list of them.
I will list those players I am most familiar with. Cubs dates first and Sox second:
George Bell 1991---1992-93 (He was the one traded for Sammy Sosa.)
Bobby Bonds 1981---1978 (Yep, Barry's dad.)
Zeke Bonura 1949---1934-37
Smokey Burgess 1949-51---1964-67 (Probably the best-ever pinch hitter.)
John Buzhardt 1958-59---1962-67 (That great Sox pitching staff with Tommy John and Joel Horlen. In '67 they broke my heart.)
Johnny Callison 1970-71--1958-59 (Sox go to World Series in '59.)
Phil Cavaretta 1934-53---1954-55 (An all-time great Cub.)
Neal Cotts 2007-09---2003-06 (World Series winner in 2005.)
Wes Covington 1966---1961
Tommy Davis 1970-72---1968
Moe Drabowski 1956-60---1972
Lee Elia 1968---1966 (How can I forget the infamous "tirade" when he was Cub manager?)
Scott Fletcher 1981-82---1983-91
Kosuke Fukudome 2008-11---2012
Oscar Gamble 1969---1977-85 (The South Side Hitmen)
More to Come. --RoadDog
WILL ROGERS SAYS: Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate; now, what's going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
