That’s insane
Bonus from the comments: Barry Larkin debuted, played his entire career, retired, voted into the HOF, all in the span of Jamie Moyer’s career [https://x.com/PlayerTBN/status/1828481014592688260](https://x.com/PlayerTBN/status/1828481014592688260)
Reminds of this NFL one:
>Between Tom Brady’s 3rd Superbowl appearance and his 10th, Calvin Johnson has been drafted, retired, and made the Hall of Fame.
alright dick, here’s how you do it…
Bobby Orr was born, drafted in the NHL, won rookie of the year, won best defenseman trophy 8 times, leading scorer twice, league MVP three times, the Stanley Cup (and playoff MVP) twice, then retired and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
All (including birth) within the career of Gordie Howe.
Now that’s what I call a fun fact
Meanwhile Dusty is over here pitching players like it’s the 1880s.(in theory)
Dick Mountian is inevitable.
That’s crazy, you can probably find quite a few of these with the guys at the top of this list
