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.

As for the Mets and Colt 45s draft selections, I would suggest Ed Kranepool and Joe Morgan. Maybe Dennis Menke.
