That's a start...see what you make of them...AND BE SPECIFIC...cuz they have a specific thing that they all have in common

Rick Reichardt
Joe Torre
Billy Bruton
Clint Courtney
Dick Gray
Bob Allison
Reggie Jackson

Im bumping this up, cuz no one seems to have even given it a try yet...and keep in mind, you need to be specific.

Almost all of them hit the first home run for their team after they moved to a new city.

Reggie Jackson - Oakland
Bob Allison - Minnesota
Dick Gray - Los Angeles
Joe Torre - Atlanta
Clint Courtney - Baltimore

Not sure about Reichardt and Bruton though. Reichardt hit one home the season after the Angels went from LA to California but that was in Sept. Also, Bruton hit one the first year the Braves played in Milwuakee.

How about hitting the first home run in new stadiums. Bruton hit the first at Milwaukee County Stadium and Reichardt had the first at Anaheim Stadium.<br><br><span class=gensmall>Accepted as answer by paulman8 on Thu Jul 29, 2004 1:30 pm EST.</span>

I'll give that to you...its the combination of the 2 things you said. First players to hit hrs for their newly-moved team in the new stadium. I think thats what you were trying to say with the second post.
