Baseball Games
One man could play for two different major league baseball teams in the same day, play the entire game, and not violate any major league baseball rules. How could he do it?
Answer
The man could play for both teams in a double header. First he plays for team A against team B, then he is traded in between games, and then plays for team B against team A.Hide Answer Show Answer

Good One...I think this did happen.
Good teaser, lots of fun. I was wondering if this has actually happened. Any info on that?
Interesting. Who would've thunk it?
This teaser was released during the World Series- great timing!

That is really cool. I was thinking a referee or something.
This did actually happen in an 1896 baseball game between the Pirates and the Giants. The players name was Harry Davis.
Ha, I thought he was playing a video game.
I didnt know that

Good one, I thought maybe the player would play for team A for one game then later play for team B in another game
Or he could be playing the ORGAN in two different ballparks - New York, Chicago, whatever
I know nothing about baseball
i thought videogame also
I was questionable with my answer, yet this is a unique situation. Very good one!
I wonder if this could happen in today's baseball?
I figured that might be it, but I'm pretty sure it isn't possible anymore...
Haha, I didn't know that was even possible!
one, yes it has happened, and two, yes it is still possible today, even though double headers are more rare, usually only used to make up rained out games
nice trick teaser though

I don't like baseball, and I've never watched or played it, so this was hard.
I don't like baseball, so I didn't fingure it out, but I'm sure it took a lot of work to come up with something like that! Keep up the good work and write one about basketball, my favorite sport!
wouldn't even have to be a double header...play the day game for the Mets, the evening game for the Yankees.
Or, Cubs and White Sox...

This is easily explained, even these days. I'm surprised nobody mentioned it.
How about the guy(person) who plays the organ during the game?
I'm pretty sure the same guy plays for the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Wolves. It wouldn't be hard to conceive a person playing for two different baseball teams in the same city.

I rejected the solution as too obvious, and therefor must be against some rule of which I was unaware. If you had said, "without violating any rules of physics" or something, I would have gotten it!
