#73: Gene Mauch

Gene Mauch

It always seems weird to get someone who was known more for managing than playing. That's how I see Mauch.

I) Gene Mauch --> '57 Red Sox --> Marty Keogh, Frank Malzone, Jim Piersall

II) Keough --> '66 Braves
II) Keough --> '66 Cubs
II) Malzone --> '66 Angels
II) Piersall --> '67 Angels

We'll start with Piersall first.

II) Piersall --> '67 Angels --> Aurelio Rodriguez
      III) Rodriguez --> '83 Orioles

That will do.

1. Gene Mauch played for the 1957 Boston Red Sox with Jim Piersall.
2. Jim Piersall played for the 1967 California Angels with Aurelio Rodriguez.
3. Aurelio Rodriguez played for the 1983 Baltimore Orioles with Dennis Martinez.
4. Dennis Martinez played for the 1993 Montreal Expos with Matt Stairs!

Degrees of Matt Stairs: 4
