Interesting chain of teammates

[rangerssharks414]

My brother saw this on Twitter, so I thought I'd share (this screenshot isn't from my brother's account). You can go from Cap Anson (who played in the 19th century) to Pete Alonso (whose first season is this year) with nine players if they played on the same team. That is insane. Is this thread worthy? Probably not. But it's crazy.

yeah i love playing around with that thing when i'm bored

if you really want to get interesting make sure you exclude guys like moyer, minnie minoso, tommy john, nolan ryan, etc who played for 3 or more decades

Edwin Jackson has been teammates with every player in the history of the sport.

It's quite fun to do this, interesting to see who fits into this thing; Six Degrees of Separation if you will.

Who played with the 1899 Phillies?

I think the point of choosing Alonso was that he made his major league debut this season.

Edit: I'm an idiot.
