Athletes and their "definitive" teams...

[El Mudo]

Thinking about this today, what are some athletes that played for multiple teams that you sort of always view as being a member of one particular team? Its almost like the "what hat do they wear to the Hall of Fame" type of question

For example, even though Wayne Gretzky played for Edmonton, Los Angeles, St. Louis, and New York, in my mind he's always an Oiler. Same thing with Roger Clemens; even though he only played there till the early 90s, in my mind, he's always a member of the Red Sox (as is Pedro), and Reggie Jackson is always a Yankee

[nocountryjon1]

so like farve would be green bay or jerry rice would be the 49ers

[weekapaugjz]

bruce smith, thurman thomas, and andre reed will always be bills even though they ended their careers with different teams.

[Hottub]

I guess Reggie will always be a Yankee. Despite a nice stretch with Oakland.

[weekapaugjz]

I think jordan is a no brainer.

Pedro on the Red Sox is easy. But Clemens won two World Series with the Yankees, and how a lot of memorable moments with that team, including this one:

http://paxarcana.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/clemens_piazza.jpg

I think memorable moments is what makes a "definitive" team. Even though Reggie played for the Athletics longer and won more championships there, its hard to argue against Reggie as a Yankee.

If you do a google image search of "Jim Hunter," this is the first image that comes up:

However, if you search "Catfish Hunter," you get this:

Hunter actually went into the Hall of Fame with a blank hat because he didn't want to show preference for either team.

Some other guys who can be argued are Randy Johnson, Wade Boggs, and Mark McGwire.

I always think of Randy as a Mariner, Boggs as a member of the Red Sox, and McGwire as a Card.


I think Clemens had a lot of important moments with the Yankees (and the Astros), but the first team I think of when I think of Clemens is Boston (becoming "The Rocket", the 20K games, the way he left there, etc etc.) I mean, he played there for 12 years and won 192 games there.

I always think of mcgwire on the a's. But that's probably just me. He was my brothers favorite player and he had a's stuff all over the place. I think canseco can go with the a's as well.

When Randy goes into the Hall it will be in an Arizona cap. I too have fond memories of him in Seattle, but lets face facts, he's the greatest Diamondback in franchise history. It would have been a tough call in 2003, but since his second stint with them he'll forever be remembered as a D-Back.

Some other guys who can be argued are Randy Johnson, Wade Boggs, and Mark McGwire. Clemens played 7 more seasons and won over 100 more games with the Red Sox over the Yankees. Clemens is a Red Sox.

Wade Boggs played in over 1000 more games and had over 1300 more hits with the Red Sox over the Yankees. Boggs is a Red Sox.

Catfish Hunter had 98 more wins, over 1000 more strike outs, and 1 more World Series championship with the A's over the Yankees. Catfish Hunter is an A.

Randy Johnson is the only tough call here. It's about even between Seattle and Arizona. Arizona may get the edge due to the World Series there.

McGwire has 7 more seasons and over 140 more homers with the A's over the Cards. McGwire an A.

[Fezticle98]

Gretzky to me is an LA King. I know he won all the titles with Edmonton, but he became a King just when I started taking notice of hockey and his profile in the US blew up. I understand why this would be different for a Canadian or an older American hockey fan.

Despite playing for just about every team, Rickey Henderson to me, is an Oakland A.

Canseco, Oakland A.

Hey assholes!

Roger not only won two Cy's with my Blue Jays, he also started his steroid habit there. How's that for definitive moments! That cunt is a Jay. On a side note, if the blue jay organization sets up a twitter account and tweets, does it fit?

[spoon]

On a serious note, Clemens is most linked to the Sox for a few reasons. 1) He made his legend there. 2) It's the only place he played clean while dominating. The Sox organization saw him falling apart and actually made the right call. How would they know he'd take anything to get his youth/form/power pitching game back. 3) He only went to the yankees for a title shot, as he all but demanded to go exactly there. And in New York he was hardly accepted, until they needed him...just like Arod this year. Funny how the NY fans operate.

As a Cubs fan, the Cubs retiring of Gregg Maddux's number pisses me off. He's a Brave. You can't make up for the fact that you lost an all-time great in his prime, by trying to reclaim him and retiring his number. Besides, Ferguson Jenkins deserves the honor of having the number 31 retired alone. It should have been done along time ago for Fergie. Fuck'n Cubs!

How does that "reclaim" him? It only retires his number with the Cubs. It's not like it keeps the Braves from doing anything similar or determines what team he goes into the Hall under. Besides, you can make a pretty even argument that neither deserved to have the number retired at Wrigley on their own.

I don't think it reclaims him. But I think the Cubs think it does. Why else would they retire his number?

Fergie is a hall of famer. How can you make the argument that he shouldn't have his number retired?

[EliSnow]

Fran Tarkenton - Minnesota Viking. I don't care what he did in NY.

See, I think his definitive team was the "That's Incredible" team.

Fergie is a hall of famer. How can you make the argument that he shouldn't have his number retired?

He was with the Cubs for almost 11 seasons, 8 of which were fantastic. In that time he won 1 Cy Young Award.

Maddux spent almost 10 seasons with the Cubs, 5 of which were fantastic. In that time he won 1 Cy Young Award. He also got his start with the organization.

Fergie had more quality years with the Cubs, but it's a pretty solid argument either way. With Maddux there definitely were some "politics" involved. It was definitely a gesture acknowledging how poorly the front office handled Maddux's negotiations at the time.

Ultimately I'm fine with this. Both had a number of great seasons as a pitcher for the Cubs and both won a CYA with the team.

[RhinoinMN]

To me, Herschel Walker will always be a Cowboy.


Chuck Knoblauch will always be a Yankee (tee hee)

I know everything McGwire did with the Cardinals, but he's an Athletic.

I totally disagree, all he did in St. Louis was that bullshit mockery of the homerun record being torn down.

In Oakland he won Rookie of the Year, a Gold Glove and of course a fucking World Series. Come on Mojo, ur better than this. Just bc his Card history is more recent and the downfall of his career as well, it doesn't offset where he started, played the most and won so many awards and a title.

Jason kidd ?

Bonds is definitely a Pirate for me, thought that stems from him being with them when I was nuts over baseball cards and him always being the ones I definitely wanted to get.

Ultimately I'm fine with this. Both had a number of great seasons as a pitcher for the Cubs and both won a CYA with the team. I just think Fergie kinda go robbed on this one, and deserved the honor on his own merits.

Fergie Jenkins in 10 seasons with the Cubs: 167 Wins, 3.20 ERA, 2038 K's to just 600 BB's, 1.123 WHIP, 6 20 win seasons, 5 200 K seasons, 1 CY Young award.

Gregg Maddux in 10 seasons with the Cubs: 133 wins, 3.60 ERA, 1305 K's to just 547 BB's, 1.245 WHIP, 1 20 win season, 2 200 K seasons, 1 CY Young award.

This isn't about who's the better pitcher over the course of their career. Maddux takes that by ALOT. Hell, he's an all-timer. This is about who was better as a Cub. And Fergie was the better of the two while wearing a Cubs uniform.

[TheMojoPin]

Ewing as a Knick

Dammit, at least try. The guy played 15 years for ther Knicks and then 1 apiece for the Supersonics and the Magic. Nobody in their right mind sees him as anything but a Knick (spare us the stupid jokes, fuckers).

Ozzie Smith as a Card

Same thing. Of course Ozzie is a Cardinal. He only spent 3 years with the Padres before the rest of his career in St. Louis.

So lazy, Hippo.

I don't disagree that Fergie was better as a Cub, I just don't don't agree that either merited a jersey retirement on their own.

To each their own. I think there also things that go into the retirement that hinges on the player basically being the face of the team or (to use another body part) the backbone while also putting up great numbers season after season. That's why Banks and Williams and Santo and Sandberg definitely belong up there and personally I think Sammy definitely belongs up there.

Thinking about this today, what are some athletes that played for multiple teams that you sort of always view as being a member of one particular team? Its almost like the "what hat do they wear to the Hall of Fame" type of question

For example, even though Wayne Gretzky played for Edmonton, Los Angeles, St. Louis, and New York, in my mind he's always an Oiler. Same thing with Roger Clemens; even though he only played there till the early 90s, in my mind, he's always a member of the Red Sox (as is Pedro), and Reggie Jackson is always a Yankee

How. They did like nothing special. Him and Mogilny was special

And Im sure if i was old enough to watch Messier when he was in Edmonton, id probably agree. But being a younger Devils fan, that SCUMBAG is all Rangers.

Are there some players who don't have a definitive team? Players who have been on a number of teams each for enough time, that none of them stick to him?
