With the World Series connecting the two teams, I tried to come up with a few Cubs players that were Indians at one time. I went off of my memory. I didn't do a whole lot of research. There are plenty of other players, but these are five I came up with for no particular reason.
I knew of Cardenal and Thornton but for a first 5 in my head, Joe Carter and Kenny Lofton probably would replace them even though they were both very short term Cubs. Eck, Sut and Woody definitely round out my top 5. Luis Valbuena jumps out at me even though I had never heard of him as an Indian until he got to the Cubs.

Wish it was sortable.
don't forget Terry Francona Cubs 1987 Topps and Indians 1989 Topps
ReplyDeleteThe first name that came to mind for me was Joe Carter...
ReplyDeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteYou know me though. I would have gone for Tom Veryzer, Karl Pagel, Ron Hassey and a special nod to Tarzan Joe Wallis, who was an Indian for a few hours, although he never actualy played for them.
