#162: Bob Loane

Bob Loane

Cool! Another Bee!

I) Bob Loane --> '40 Boston Bees --> Hank Majeski, Sibby Sisti

II) Majeski --> '55 Indians
II) Majeski --> '55 Orioles
II) Sisti --> '54 Milwaukee Braves


I really wanted to try Buffalo native Sisti and add a Milwaukee Braves team to my list, but that Orioles team will get me there in the shortest number of steps.

1. Bob Loane played for the 1940 Boston Bees with Hank Majeski.
2. Hank Majeski played for the 1955 Baltimore Orioles with Brooks Robinson.
3. Brooks Robinson played for the 1977 Baltimore Orioles with Dennis Martinez.
4. Dennis Martinez played for the 1992 Montreal Expos with Matt Stairs!

Degrees of Matt Stairs: 4

#86: Billy Urbanski

Billy Urbanski

I) Billy Urbanski --> '37 Boston Bees --> Tommy Thevenow

Shout out to connected player Thevenow!

I) Billy Urbanski --> '37 Boston Bees --> Ray Mueller

II) Mueller --> '51 Braves --> Gene Mauch, Lew Burdette


Since I gave a shout out to one connected player, it's only fair I give Mauch his due!

      III) Burdette --> '67 Angels

This Angels team is one of my Connected Teams, ironically enough as part of the Gene Mauch chain. I have my link!

1. Billy Urbanski played for the 1937 Boston Bees with Ray Mueller.
2. Ray Mueller played for the 1951 Boston Braves with Lew Burdette.
3. Lew Burdette played for the 1967 California Angels with Aurelio Rodriguez.
4. Aurelio Rodriguez played for the 1983 Baltimore Orioles with Dennis Martinez.
5. Dennis Martinez played for the 1993 Montreal Expos with Matt Stairs!
