#58: Orville Armburst

Orville Armburst

A pitcher with the unfortunate name of Armburst. I hope that's not why he only lasted one year.

I) Orville Armburst --> '34 Senators --> Ray Prim, Red Kress, Joe Kuhel, Cecil Travis

II) Prim --> '46 Cubs
II) Kress --> '46 Giants
II) Kuhel --> '47 White Sox
II) Travis --> '47 Senators

The '46 Giants, '47 White Sox and the '47 Senators are all on my Connected Teams list. Since I know I have a few completed chains, lets give the '46 Cubs a shot.

II) Prim --> '46 Cubs --> Russ Meyer, Andy Pafko
      III) Meyer --> '59 Athletics
      III) Pafko --> '59 Braves

The '59 Athletics are also a Connected Team. Onward with the Braves...

      III) Pafko --> '59 Braves --> Hank Aaron
              IV) Aaron --> '76 Brewers --> Robin Yount
                     V) Yount --> '93 Brewers --> John Jaha

I'm stopping here. Although I easily could have finished this chain, I can complete my link in one fewer degree by using one of the connected teams above.
