Mets catcher Chris Cannizzaro had the "good fortune" of playing on two different first year expansion teams in his career. These 62 Mets and then the 69 Padres. I wonder if there were any other players that did this?

In 1990 I saw J T Snow play quite a bit for the Yankees Class A affiliate Prince William. I had just moved that spring to the DC area and didn't know anyone so I went to a lot of their games. You could tell he was going to be a good MLB player by just the way he carried himself on the field. His dad was Jack Snow who was an NFL receiver for the Rams in the 70's. He came and stayed in the area and went to see his son play all summer. He had seats behind home plate and was there every game until he had to go back to his announcing job with the Rams in August. I thought he was very fortunate to be able to do that. Not many fathers can.

1B/OF Ron Fairly played for the '69 Expos and the '77 Blue Jays, completing his tour of the Great White North.

Rose was keeping everyone happy by having Stillwell and Larkin in the same lineup. Really not a bad lineup for the Reds.

Ah, forgot about him. He was even more unique since played on both of the Canadien expansion teams.

Ron Oester had shredded his knee on July 5, and 39-year-old Dave Concepcion occasionally played 2B vs. lefties, but Larkin and Stillwell got a lot of playing time together.

Found another one. Diego Segui pitched for the '69 Pilots and the '77 Mariners. Another unique situation!
