Traded by four teams
Before Cleveland became home
Solid ten year stint
 |
| 1981 Topps #388 Andre Thornton |
Thorton started off as a minor leaguer in the Phillies organization. They traded him to the Braves, who traded him to the Cubs (where he would make his MLB debut in 1973). The Cubs shipped him to Montreal, where he played for a season before being traded one last time to the Indians. He spent the rest of his career there, becoming a 2 time All-Star, Silver Slugger winner and recipient of the Roberto Clemente Award.
Never knew Thornton played on any of those other teams. Just remember him for his years in Cleveland... and those glasses.
