what binds us together? (answered)

[paulman8]

How do we know that this has to do with getting hits? Or have you told us that? I was thinking that maybe they each made an error that led to an unearned run to cost their team the series. (Doesnt have to be game 7...cuz if a series went to game 7, it would've been done in 6 w/o the error. Thats the only connection that I though might be possible after looking at the Series stats on the ones who only played in one series (limited the amount I had to look). Of course, I couldnt find single game stats...so this could be completely not true.

Incorrect.

The answer does have to do with hits.

Another hint: These 13 players represent 13 different teams. Players from all the remaining other teams (post 1940) cannot be put onto this list (assuming I didn't miss anyone).

Here are 3 players, their teams, and the year being indicated:
Roy Hughes: Cubs, 1945
Dwight Evans: Boston, 1986
JT Snow: Giants, 2002

I hope the answer doesn't let anyone down....

Each of the teams involved Lost the Last WS that they played in. I'm guessing these players all had the Final hit in the that WS, thus giving these players the final WS hit for their respective franchises.<br><br><span class=gensmall>Accepted as answer by ukrneal on Wed Jul 14, 2004 12:54 am EST.</span>
