Repack Haiku #337 (Moises Alou)

Made the All-Star team
For five different ball clubs
Six times overall
 
1991 Donruss #38 Moises Alou (RR)
 
Outside the first team he ever played for (Pirates - only 2 games) and the last team he ever played for (Mets), Alou represented every other franchise he suited up with at an All-Star Game. Not only that, he got a hit as a member of each club:
 
1994 - Expos (1-1, 2B, 1 RBI - Ended the game with a walk-off double!)
1997 - Marlins (1-2)
1998 - Astros (1-3, R)
2001 - Astros (0-1)
2004 - Cubs (1-2)
2005 - Giants  (1-1, 2B, BB, R)

As an All-Star, he batted .500/.546/.700 with 2 R and a game winning RBI - not too shabby!

  1. The last of the Alous? They had a good run.

  2. 6x MLB All-Star? Career .300 hitter with over 300 home runs? That's impressive. I had no idea Alou had such a successful career.

  3. Would be a finalist for Hall of Very Good induction. Though I have to say, if he didn't throw a tantrum like a four year old after Steve Bartman & co. reached for that foul ball, that LCS -- and Bartman's life -- would have been much, much different.

  4. Makes me wonder now if anyone else has represented more teams in the All-Star game?
