the Padres have had multiple common managers with the two bay area teams with the Giants, Bruce Bochy, Bob Melvin, Roger Craig, and Alvin Dark and with the A's Bob Melvin, Steve Boros, Dick Williams, Alvin Dark, Jack McKeon, and John McNamara
-
with the recent passing of Whitey Herzog, Ned Yost is now the only living manager whose taken the Royals to the post season, as is Mike Soscia with the Angels

ironically, the guy who managed him that year, Davey Johnson had an improbable 43 home run season in 1973, the most he hit any other year was 18. Also in 1996 quite a few other guys had a one year home run surge that stood out, Barry Larkin, Kevin Elster, Geronimo Berroa, Benito Santiago(a few years pre Balco)
-
Elvin Hayes had a four season strech where he played for four cities but only two franchises, the San Diego Rockets, then the next year they move to Houston, for the next year he gets traded to the Baltimore Bullets and the next year they move to Washington DC
-
Mark McGwire's brother Dan had a brief career as quarterback with the Seahawks and was actually drafted ahead of Favre
-
Since there was no regular season interconference play due to the labor dispute in 1994-95, 1993-94 was the only year of the Quebec Nordiques playing the Anaheim Mighty Ducks
-
The Panthers have had more head coaches in the last two seasons than the Steelers have had in the last 55 seasons and the Raiders have had more in the last three seasons

An amazing stat is that going back to 2014, home teams with a chance to clinch the World Series have lost seven straight games, so Astros to win would break a trend, also all time in World Series home games they are 4-10

I was thinking of some match ups in the NFL that haven't happened all that often and found that the Raiders have only faced the Jaguars in Jacksonville three times and have actually despite being in the opposite conference faced their expansion cousins the Panthers in Carolina four times.

NFL uniform matchups that only happened in preseason

From looking on profootballreference I found on August 3, 1996 the Broncos played three 49ers with the 1996-2008 updated uniform against the classic orange crush Broncos and on August 17, 1995 the Patriots played the Eagles with the kelly green Randall Cunningham era uniform against the flying elvises uniform -

While doing some research I found that the Broncos played the Tennessee Oilers in a pre season game on August 29, 1998 as that would be the only time the modern Broncos uniform faced the classic Oilers uniform -
Players in the "wrong" uniforms
chrispw12 replied to larrypep's topic in Sports Logo General Discussion
I think there are some cases where a guy having a short stint with a team but winning a ring and having a memorable moment or run with them would make it not really a wrong uniform. A few examples Kawhi Leonard with Raptors Jack Morris with Twins Bill Walton with Celtics -
The Bengals with their win went to 3-0 in conference championship games with the Giants at 5-0 as the teams to never lose a conference title game or at least ones that have played in at least one as the Texans have yet to make one
-
From March 1996 Sonics in their 1995-2001 green uniform against Bullets home uniform as when they met there the next season the Bullets were throwbacks
-
I remember seeing a photo of the Panthers playing against the Orange Crush classic Broncos uniform and that had to have been from a 1995 or 1996 per season game since their first official game was in 1997 after the Broncos uniform change. Does anyone know of other instances where the uniform matchup happened only in the pre season as full pre season records are harder to find
