#46: Milt Jordan

Milt Jordan

I) Milt Jordan --> '53 Tigers --> Al Kaline

II) Kaline --> '74 Tigers --> Jim Northrup, Aurelio Rodriguez, Ron LeFlore, Fred Holdsworth, Woodie Fryman
      III) Northrup --> '74 Expos
      III) Fryman --> '78 Expos
      III) LeFlore --> '80 Expos
      III) Holdsworth --> '82 Expos
      III) Rodriguez --> '83 Orioles


Five different players from this team played with one of my "Big 3" later on in their careers. I'm giving Northrup the nod here, since he jumped from the Tigers to the Expos in the same season.

1. Milt Jordan played for the 1953 Detroit Tigers with Al Kaline.
2. Al Kaline played for the 1974 Detroit Tigers with Jim Northrup.
3. Jim Northrup played for the 1974 Montreal Expos with Gary Carter.
4. Gary Carter played for the 1992 Montreal Expos with Matt Stairs!

With this chain, I've now reached 100 connected teams! Whoo-hoo!

Degrees of Matt Stairs: 4
