I knew Messier did it, but I didn't know Malone did it. Not the answer I was looking for, but I'll give you credit.
CORRECT!!!
More specifically, they were the last active players from a defunct major sports league in the league that took it over(as opposed to the minor leagues).
Mark Messier and Moses Malone's achievements are NOT unique. There would also be a 'last man standing' from the Basketball Association of America and from the All-American Football Conference. I'm guessing that the last AAFC player in the NFL was Y.A. Tittle.
The 1960-69 American Football League wouldn't count, because it merged with the NFL, and the Federal League wouldn't count in Baseball because no franchises played in both. In the four cases I mentioned, some, but not all of the franchises from the defunct league joined as expansion teams.
Six Toronto Blue Jays players won a batting average title at some point in their careers.
Name as many as you can.
