Alas, Toi San has riddled me well. I am limited to MLB players. Any players who played in leagues other than MLB( Negro Leagues etc) are out of my realm of powers. Although I offer a Josh /Adam Greenberg connection for sheeites and giggles.........
I also beleive that the honorable Toi San has "discovered" the power of my being.

Ah, but Allan Travers [i:86f4def902]didn't[/i:86f4def902] play with Donie or Bobby. They were on strike at the time, with the rest of the Tigers, protesting what they felt was an overly harsh suspension given to Ty Cobb after Cobb climbed into the stands and started beating a handicapped fan. The strike lasted one day, ending when the league president threatened the players with severe disciplinary action.
When the Tigers walked out, Detroit management scrambled to field a team so they would not be fined for missing a game. The starting (and losing) pitcher that day was Allan Travers, who pitched a complete game, striking out 1, walking 7, allowing 26 hits, 24 runs (14 earned), and facing a total of 50(!) hitters.
Told you it was a trick. :wink:
But wait, there's more...
One of the other Tigers-for-a-day was a journeyman named Billy Maharg, who had a second cup of coffee four years later with the Phillies. Yup, the 1916 Phillies with Pete Alexander.
But our tale doesn't end there. Skip another four years to 1920, when Billy Maharg resurfaces once again. This time, though, Maharg is named as one of the gamblers involved in fixing the 1919 World Series.
Oh, did I mention that in 1912, Cobb won the batting title, hitting .409? He only played in 140 games, due in part to the suspension. Had he played in all 154, like the guy who finished second, it's possible Cobb would not have hit .400. In fact, he might not even have hit .395, which was the second-highest average in the AL, an average belonging to an outfielder by the name of... Shoeless Joe Jackson.
And now you know, the Rest of the Story.
Good day!

More than one way to skin a cat:
AL TRAVERS pitched as a TIGER FOR ONE DAY 1912
played with JACK COFFEY;
COFFEY returns to play with DONNIE BUSH on 1918 TIGERS
BUSH -- OSSIE BLUEAGE = 1922 SENATORS
BLUEAGE -- EARLY WYNN = 1939 SENATORS
WYNN -- KEN BERRY = 1962 WHITE SOX
BERRY -- ALAN ASHBY = 1975 INDIANS
