#68: Ron Schueler

Ron Schueler

I have two possible choices here. Schueler last played with the White Sox in '79. All I'd have to do is find one player who was with the team the following year. Easy enough. The shortest path, of course, would be to find someone who played with one of my "Big 3".

I) Ron Schueler --> '79 White Sox --> Ed Farmer, Steve Trout

II) Farmer --> '77 Orioles --> Dennis Martinez
II) Trout --> '87 Yankees --> Rick Cerone

I found two players that fit the bill. Farmer's Oriole career consisted of 2 batters faced with no outs recorded and an ERA of infinity. He still qualifies though! However, I'm going with Trout on this one - not only do I get to add an extra team to my table, but I get to add a father/son duo among my connecting players. His father Dizzy helped me get the Del Pratt chain completed.

1. Ron Schueler played for the 1979 Chicago White Sox with Steve Trout.
2. Steve Trout played for the 1987 New York Yankees with Rick Cerone.
3. Rick Cerone played for the 1992 Montreal Expos with Matt Stairs!
