I believe the 2nd answer is Darren Oliver. He started with the Rangers, who were originally the expansion Washington Senators (not the Senators that became the Twins). He also played for the Mets, Astros and Angels. I'm pretty sure his father played during Ryan's early years.

Yep, Darren Oliver and Nolan Ryan. Darren's father Bob played with Nolan with the California Angels in the early 70's

That was a good one Splinter_9! Pretty tough.
Here's the next trivia question:
There are three brothers that played in the MLB as Catchers. Name ALL three! If you can't name all 3, PLZ don't name one or two. I don't really like seeing people answer part of a question and then someone else gets credit for naming the other part of the question. This should be a pretty easy question anyway.

I know, cuz 2 of them played together for my favorite team. But I want someone else to ask a question.

You left out Molina, but yes. You are correct. The Molina brothers all played as catchers and they all also have at least one WS ring! I believe Yadier is the only one still playing. I also believe he will be the only one of them to get into the HOF!
What's your question?

I kind of figured that anyone who was a baseball fan would know of the three Molina brothers.
The unassisted triple play is the rarest of single player feats in baseball. All but one ever recorded have been accomplished by an infielder. Who did this feat playing the outfield?

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

No on Keeler.
This event occurred before 1900. It was the first recorded unassisted triple play. The Wikipedia article when you google does not refer to it as it only looks at modern day baseball. It was also initially contested as not being unassisted but by application of the rules of baseball, the individual was rightfully credited with it.
If no one finds it today, I will give the team name tomorrow.
