I thought Mick answered that - Nolan Ryan…
I was stumped by the Q because I wrongly interpreted the answer as having to be someone who was drafted by one of the four in ‘61/‘62. Obviously, none of those guys played for all four.
Speaking of which, here is another expansion question. Who were the first choices of the Houston Colt 45’s and the New York Mets in the 1962 expansion draft? Hint - both guys were SF Giants.
Ryan is the only player who solely played for the four expansion teams. Bu he's not the only one who played for all four teams. That would include Darren Oliver, who played for Texas (10 years), Angels (3 years), Mets (1 year) and Astros (1 year). But he also played for Boston, Florida, Colorado, Toronto and St. Louis.
https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/o/oliveda02.shtml
As for the Mets and Colt 45s draft selections, I would suggest Ed Kranepool and Joe Morgan. Maybe Dennis Menke.
Just to clarify, the top expansion draft choices made by the Mets and Colt 45’s were SF Giants at the time they were selected. Landrith by the Mets and ? by the Colt 45’s.
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 10-23-2021
I believe the Colt 45 choice is the guy who was the Deanza college baseball coach for years

Following up on awards questions:
1. Who is the only player to win league MVP, LCS MVP and World Series MVP in the same season?
2. Who is the only player to win ALCS MVP, NLCS MVP and World Series MVP? (not in the same season obv)
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 10-25-2021
What unusual feat do Elmer Valo, Ron Fairly, Don Mincher and Diego Segui share in common?
Each played for 3 teams in those teams’ first years in their new cities.
Valo played for the 1955 A’s in Kansas City, the 1958 Dodgers in Los Angeles, and the 1961 Twins in Minnesota. Fairly played for the 1958 Dodgers in L.A., the 1969 Expos in Montreal, and the 1977 Blue Jays in Toronto. Mincher played for the 1961 Twins, the 1969 Pilots in Seattle, and the 1972 Rangers in Texas. Segui played for the 1968 A’s in Oakland, the 1969 Pilots, and the 1977 Mariners in Seattle.

Brooks Robinson and Frank Robinson.
The San Francisco 49ers have had 19 head coaches. How many have been head coach at Stanford? How many have been assistant coach at Stanford? How many coached at other SF Bay Area colleges?

I think this is a complete list…
Harbaugh - Stanford
Mariucci - Cal
Walsh - Stanford
Christiansen - Stanford
Shaw - Santa Clara
Assistants at Stanford - no clue

OK, I'll play.
The College Football Belt is an unofficial "trophy" first awarded to Nebraska for defeating Alabama in the 1972 Orange Bowl. The rules of the Belt are simple: all you have to do to obtain it is defeat its current holder head-to-head on the field. So in their first defense of the Belt on September 9, 1972, Nebraska lost it to UCLA. Then two weeks later UCLA lost it to Michigan and so on. In the event of a tie the Belt stays with the holder coming into the game.
Now...... who is the only current member of the Pac-12 conference who has never held the Belt since its inception nearly 50 years ago?
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 10-25-2021
Walsh, Christianson and Albert were Stanford assistants.
Also Seifert and Mike Nolan.

Going to guess Cal, because….

Looked it up… not Cal. The answer is surprising.

Southern Cal.

I don’t think Albert was a Stanford assistant

The LCS MVP award has only been around since the late 70's, so that narrows it down.
I'm going to go with Willie Stargell for the MVP trifecta.

RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 10-26-2021
Bobbbbb, Perhaps Albert wasn’t a staffer but he did help out a bit before the AAFC was organized.

Yes, Willie Stargell in 1979, "We Are Family".
Hint: the only winner of the ALCS/NLCS/WS MVP trifecta played for the Giants at one point, although he didn't win any of those awards while with them.
