Milwaukee Brewers. AL West, AL East, AL Central, NL Central.

boom, nailed it

Huh. My initial guess would have been the Brewers, but that was only because of the AL Central - NL Central switch. So... I would have been right, but I would have had no idea why. I don't think that would count.

I thought that made the Brewers too obvious.

The real trick is the 1st division. The Brewers came over from Seattle and for a year or two they remained in the AL West despite being the Milwaukee Brewers. Then of course they switched to the AL East and then when it split into 3 divisions they joined the newly minted AL Central. Then of course they moved to the NL Central.

I could never imagine being a fan of a team that up and switches leagues.

It probably should have since they had to have been in either the AL East or AL West before 1994.

I was thinking maybe the Tigers because they switched to the central once Tampa came on the scene, but I couldn't come up with what a fourth would have been.

I still think of the Brewers as an AL team and the Stros as an NL team sometimes.

I was shocked Will Clark was not on the list but just missed it (1,000) in the AL. Loved me some Will Clark. Dat swing!

Also, I knew Griffey wasn't good in Cincy but a 7.2 WAR from 2001-2007? Good lord! Shows how great he was in Seattle.

Bobby Abreu, Tim Raines and Carlos Beltran were the ones I really thought would be there.

whatever you've heard, its all true

Tim Raines is ridiculously underrated. Should already be in the Hall of Fame.

Clark signed a ball for me in Kansas City in 1997. He was super nice.

Weird.

HOF voters hide behind their bullshit "Morality Clause" when it comes to Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens, but have no problem with Cap Anson being in their institution. Fucking hypocrites.

No Pete Rose, Joe Jackson, etc.

Ridiculous.

Well, maybe Cap Anson wasnt a dick to the media, which is pretty much what the morality clause is all about.

Which makes no sense because Bonds won like 35 MVP awards and they vote on it.

They couldnt not vote for Bonds most of those times, but there are times where the MVP vote is affected by the medias personal opinions of people. Mo Vaughn winning over Albert Belle in 95 is an example.
