Ferdinand Cesarano Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Most of the contributions so far show players in uniforms of teams that we barely remember them playing for. I thought of two occasions in which movies show players in uniforms of teams that they never played for.There was the movie Amazing Grace and Chuck (called Silent Voice outside North America), in which Alex English stars as a player for the Boston Celtics. Unfortunately, this is the best photo of him that I could find:Then there was the great Naked Gun, in which Jay Johnstone is shown playing for the Seattle Mariners. Someone by the name of Matthew Glidden made a 1956 baseball card showing this:And here is the wonderful scene, in which Jay faces a pitcher who looks a lot like Mike Witt, as Frank Drebin attempts to impersonate an umpire: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a Cy Young winner with the Giants around when Bonds was there doing his thing. I wanna say 2004-2005ish.EDIT: n/m he never won the Cy Young, he finished 2nd one year.

Guess who.even with the picture i couldn't tell ya.Jason Schmidt.still doesn't ring a bell. Normally, I'd just say "Goddamn Google him!" but in this case I'll indulge you.Jason Schmidt. Pretty underwhelming from 1996 to 2000 with the Braves and Pirates, but was lights out in the early 2000s with the Giants, among the best pitchers in the game from 2001 to 2004 (he even one-hit the Red Sox in 2004. The 2004 Red Sox with the 2004 Red Sox' unbelievable lineup.) 2005 he was less good, first time with an ERA over 4.00 during his time in the Bay, but was back to his old self in 2006, even throwing a 16-strikeout game.The LA Dodgers lured him away from their rival with a monster goddamn deal. 3 years, $47 million.And of course, the rest is history.Here's a pic of him in a Pirates uni: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
