#70: Bob Moose

Bob Moose

Bob Møøse once bit my sister...

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and
star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...

We apologize for the fault in blog post. Those responsible have been sacked.

I) Bob Moose --> '76 Pirates --> Duffy Dyer, Al Oliver, Frank Taveras, John Candelaria, Miguel Dilone

II) Dyer --> '79 Expos
II) Oliver/Taveras --> '82 Expos
II) Dilone --> '84 Expos
II) Candelaria --> '87 Mets

All these guys played with Gary Carter at some point in their careers. I already have the '87 Mets listed, so I'll ignore Candelaria for now. Of the Expos, I'll give the nod to Al Oliver, for no other reason than he's the only former All-Star of the bunch.

Just an aside, I noticed that Oliver was an MVP candidate in 10 of his 18 seasons. yet, to my knowledge anyway, he never was close to making the Hall of Fame. You'd think anyone with that many MVP votes would at least hang around on the ballot for awhile.

1. Bob Moose played for the 1976 Pittsburgh Pirates with Al Oliver.
2. Al Oliver played for the 1982 Montreal Expos with Gary Carter.
3. Gary Carter played for the 1992 Montreal Expos with Matt Stairs!

Degrees of Matt Stairs: 3
