We were able to get four of the five guys from the list, got the fourth wrong. This was announced at last night's game. See if you can get them right without looking it up:

Name the only 5 short stops to start 2,000 games for the same team.

Go...

He probably switched positions too often.

Yeah it's not Yount. Wiki says he played more than 1200 games in the OF and he only played in 2856 total.

Last one's a tough one, I think. Cheated and looked it up so I won't give it away.

Luke Appling??

Played forever on the Sox. But he also moved around the INF I think. Never saw him obviously though, only know the name.

Did Boudreu play long enough in Cleveland? Or in general? Short career.

That's the one I looked up. I dunno how many he played at SS but he played short in each of his 20 seasons and had 2,422 games total.
