The number surprised me.

Jim Bunning played for both Phils and Pirates. How many other players did the same?
- Thread starter fairgambit
- Start date
I am amazed by both the number and how many players I actually know.
Me too.
Something's outta whack though, unless it's me (more likely). It looks like Bunning played for both teams in 68 and 69. Same with Hebner in 77 and 78.
I really liked the way Hebner swung the bat.
It's a bit confusing but when you click on the player's name, it makes it clearer.
I was a Hebner fan. I loved that New England accent.
Richie used to dig graves in the off season. I remember him tugging his shirt at the plate. He had a nice career.
Yep. He dug graves for 35 years with a pick and shovel in a cemetery owned by his family. Amazing.
It would be interesting to know of those 255 how many Pirates were traded DIRECTLY to the Phillies.....and vice-versa!
Fair, put those buckets away.....we need answers!

Richie Hebner played for the Phillies? Huh. I must have really been wrapped up in my sister's "Cosmopolitan."
Out of that whole list, here are the one's who came to the Phils from Pittsburgh that had a bit of an impact:
Woody Fryman
Dick Groat
DAVE CASH (Big, BIG move! "Yes we can!")
Richie Hebner (Great addition!)
Kent Tekulve (though in his latter years)
Al Oliver
Glad to see that Kaiser Wilhelm found.some work here in the states after that Emporer thing didn't work out.
Try fishing next time. Then you'd have two uses for your "sister's" Cosmopolitan; maybe three.
Ah, New England. That was the setting for that legendary fast-pitch softball game.
Agree on how many I know as well. Two of my favorites are Mike 'The Hitman' Easler and Bill 'Bo Jangles' Robinson. Both terrific utility players that could hit. I guess both would be members of the Lumber Company.
