Maury Wills, (165 games played in 1962).
Wills played in all 162 Los Angeles Dodgers games from Opening Day on April 10 through September 30, 1962. Prior to 1969, the National and American League Champions advanced directly to the World Series. In 1962, however, the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants had identical 101-61 records. Pre-1969 Era National League rules stipulated that two teams tied after game 162 would play a three game series, the winner of which, (SFG), would meet the AL Champion New York Yankees. These three games were considered part of the Regular season, rather than the postseason.
The last time a tie-breaking game was required in the National League was in 1980. This was a single game playoff won by the Houston Astros over the Dodgers. That game decided the winner of the National League West Division Champion, as opposed to the League Pennant winner, (six team divisions were established with the 1969 Expansion by two teams in each League.
Today a tie-breaking formula would be used, instead of a playoff game.
We all know him and love him. He started at the bottom and now he's here.......................DRAKE. As in Oliver Drake.
In 2018 he pitched for 5 different teams. He did actually play on the field for each team that year, including a memorable 1.2 IP for the Toronto Blue Jays. Take that Kendrick Lamar.
Who played for ten different Cactus League baseball teams on the same day, as a publicity stunt?
