The Old Home Boys

As a follow-up to this post, I thought it'd be fun to look at who played the most games for each of today's current franchises when they played under different polity names. In this case, there are two that were so short-lived they had none. Let's see who they were:

Franchise	Player	Games
Philadelphia Athletics	Jimmy Dykes	1702
California Angels	Brian Downing	1661
Boston Braves	John Morrill	1219
St. Louis Browns	Jack Tobin	1133
New York Giants	Frankie Frisch	1000
Florida Marlins	Charles Johnson	587
Brooklyn Dodgers	Willie Keeler	566
Washington Senators (I)	Charles Moran	160
Baltimore Orioles (I)	Bill Keister	115
Kansas City Athletics	John O'Donoghue	80
Milwaukee Braves	Bob Uecker	46
Washington Senators (II)	Johnny Klippstein	42
Montreal Expos	Denis Boucher	15
Milwaukee Brewers (I)	George McBride	3
Anaheim Angels	none	0
Seattle Pilots	none	0

Would've been cool if the Pilots or Anaheim Angels could've participated, but no such luck.

It's amazing that the Milwaukee teams have had so few players born in the city. If you recall the other list, the Brewers' leader is Paul Wagner with 15. It looks like there's a good reason Bob Uecker has such a long-standing relationship with the Brewers: He's Milwaukee's all-time leading native son to play in the majors with a Milwaukee team. 46 whole games!
