#64: Tom York

Tom York

Sigh. Another 1800's player. It is very unlikely I make it, but let's try anyway!

I) Tom York --> 1885 Orioles --> Frank Foreman

II) Foreman --> '02 Orioles --> Roger Bresnahan
      III) Bresnahan --> '15 Cubs --> Bob O'Farrell
              IV) O'Farrell --> '35 Cardinals --> Ed Heusser, Dizzy Dean, Joe Medwick, Terry Moore
                      V) Dean --> '47 Browns --> Les Moss
                            IV) Moss --> '58 White Sox
                      V) Heusser --> '48 Phillies --> Curt Simmons
                            IV) Simmons --> '67 Cubs
                            IV) Simmons --> '67 Angels
                      V) Medwick/Moore --> '48 Cardinals --> Red Schoendienst, Stan Musial
                            IV) Schoendienst/Musial --> '63 Cardinals

Just for fun, I took this to see how far I could get in 6 degrees. I only got as far as 1967, which isn't even close to Matt Stairs. It looks like players from the 1800s are going to be automatic outs.

Degrees of Matt Stairs: Over 6
