He played for the Milwaukee Brewers at the end of his career.

He played for the Milwaukee Brewers at the end of his career.

Agreed. It was the same city he played in with the Braves for the first half of his career though.

 

[The S5]

Derek Jeter - Will go down as one of the greatest Yankees along with Ruth and Gehrig.
Larry Bird - Top 5 NBA player of all time.
Mark Messier - Anybody who can lead the Rangers to a Cup is #1 in my book.

 

[Maverick41]

For me it would be

Bird
Kobe
Duncan

If you include players who have played for other teams in Europe before they came to the US and ignore lockout seasons, then Dirk and Lidstrom would top my list.

A similar pattern to Willie Mays. Ended careers in the same city they began with a franchise relocation in between.

 

[Tarantula]

Johnny Bench, 17 seasons I believe, all with The Big Red Machine.

Would have been Orr, just doesn't seem right he played a handfull of games in a Black hawks jersey.

Most of those players appeared with multiple teams. LaPointe was a Bruin for instance. Rose an Expo. (a couple of examples).

I'm old and forgetful.

And Guy Lapointe played for the Bruins?

And Guy Lapointe played for the Bruins?

Yeah and the Blues. We had a thread in the History forum about the topic and there were some instances where those obscurities were raised. Ken Linseman as a Leaf for two games, for instance.
