expansion teams (answered)

[utterchaos]

In the early 60's there were 4 expansion teams. The Houston Colt 45's, New York Mets, California Angels, and Washington Senators.

Who is the only player to play for all 4 of these franchises?

When you say play for these teams, do the ensuing teams count? i.e. Senators-Twins, L.A. Angels-California Angels, Colt 45's-Astros or is it just the original teams?

[utterchaos]

Yes the ensuing teams count.

And FYI: the original Washington Senators which started in 1903(?) became the Minnesota Twins and the second Washington Sentators (expansion team from 1961 and the team in question here) became the Texas Rangers.

Nolan Ryan played for all these franchises....Mets, Angels (California), Astros, and Rangers and no others interestingly enough.<br><br><span class=gensmall>Accepted as answer by utterchaos on Thu Aug 21, 2003 2:36 pm EST.</span>
