He was Rick Pitino's first pick in that big draft where they had three first round picks but could not net that lottery pick to get Tim Duncan.  A year later Pitino, trying to prove his worth as a GM, started wheeling and dealing players away and he traded Chauncey away.  Pitino was a huge failure as a Celtics coach and worse as the GM.  

 

Chauncey was traded to Orlando from Denver as part of the Ron Mercer deal in 2000. Didn't play for them, but was in the team photo. He was officially assigned jersey number 2.

 

Yep, Chauncey and Ben Wallace were Magic teammates lol.

In 1981, almost two years after he retired, Bobby Hull attempted an NHL comeback with the New York Rangers. After five exhibition games it ended. For decades I have been searching for a photo of Hull in a Ranger uni, and finally came across this...

In honor of their elections to the Baseball Hall of Fame:

 

Ivan Rodriguez, Yankees (second half of 2008):

Tim Raines, Orioles (this might be the ultimate "wrong" uniform: he played 4 games with the Orioles in October 2001, just so that he could play alongside his son Tim Raines, Jr.):

And while the other man elected played his entire career with the Astros, Jeff Bagwell was originally a Red Sox prospect:

(And Sox fans are still angry about that trade.)

I'd make a Larry Andersen crack, except I'm a Reds fan, so I've seen plenty of similar trades just within the past few years...

It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
