#31: Sam Jackson

Sam Jackson

I initially wondered if I should even try this one. There is a 120-year gap between Jackson's last season and Stairs's first. My only prayer here is a jump through the Minnie Minoso time warp.

I) Sam Jackson --> 1872 Brooklyn Atlantics --> Jack Burdock

II) Burdock --> 1891 Brooklyn Grooms --> Bones Ely, Tom Daly
      III) Ely --> '02 Senators
      III) Daly --> '03 Reds
      III) Daly --> '03 White Sox

I'm throwing in the towel here. There's no way I jump from '03 to '49 this next step. I may have to come up with some special rules for players from the 1800's.
