The Have Glove Will Travel Team
Baseball Evolution embarked on a mission, not surprisingly, inspired by Dave Kingman, to determine which players had played for the most teams baseball history. It was initially decided that the "Have Glove Will Travel Team" would be composed of players who had played for seven or more teams. Well, as it turns out, seven is pretty much the cut off for the "Have Glove, Will Travel" team. Some pretty pedestrian guys managed to get up to seven teams (Kingman himself, Jose Canseco, Roberto Alomar). In fact, so many players got up to seven that we stopped keeping track of them, instead setting the minimum at eight. This list, by the way, is not exclusive, and is updated regularly.
So, without further ado, we present the Have Glove Will Travel Team:
