I did a little searching, and found an old sports trivia thread that died a while ago. I figured, instead of trying to resurrect that one, I'd start a new one.How many teams did Babe Ruth play for during his major league baseball career? Name the teams.

Yes. Oh, and for anyone that doesn't know, it's considered bad form to use Google or any other source of information. Let's try to get these off the top of our noggins.

I know Alex Rodriguez just passed him, but I'm unsure of who is tied with him. I know he has 521.

Nope it's been done before. And I just realized my question was a lot harder than the first 2. Lemme know if you want a hint.

Believe it's either Cesar Tovar or Rod Carew. Somehow, those two are indistinguishable in my mind.
