Arrow MLB Player Matching Game
Listed below are 30 sets of initials, 30 positions, and the 30 current MLB teams. The object is to match the initials with the positions, using each team only once. IF = utility infielder.

The players are a sprinkling of current and not-so-current (going back to the 1980s) players…some stars, some not. I tried to select players that are fairly obviously associated with one team (although certainly not exclusively with one team). A couple of the newer teams were tough and the Nats are treated as the Expos.

I will try and check in periodically to note any correct answers.

Initials:

Positions:

DH: Edgar Martinez (Mariners)
1b: Eric Karros (Dodgers)
1b: Todd Helton (Rockies)
2b: Frank White (Royals)
2b: Jose Vidro (Nats/Expos)
3b: Robin Ventura (White Sox)
3b: Mike Lowell (Marlins)
SS: Shawon Dunston (Cubs)
SS: Julio FRanco (Indians)
IF: Craig Counsell (D-backs)
IF: Jose Oquendo (Cards)
OF: Brady Anderson (Orioles)
OF: Ben Oglivie (Brewers)
OF: Bobby Higginson (Tigers)
OF: Aubrey Huff (D-Rays)
OF: Bobby Abreu (Phillies)
C: Javy Lopez (Braves)
C: Jason Varitek (Red Sox)
SP: Dwight Gooden (Mets)
SP: Mike Scott (Astros)
SP: Kenny Rogers (Rangers)
SP: Barry Zito (A's)
SP: Dave Steib (Blue Jays)
SP: Brad Radke (Twins)
RP: Trevor Hoffman (Padres)
RP: Rod Beck (Giants)
RP: Troy Percival (Angels)
RP: Mariano Rivera (Yankees)
Manager: Jim Leyland (Pirates)
Owner: Marge Schott (Reds)

Teams:
