Ah, the things I find when there are no former or future Astros birthdays to celebrate. Baseball-Reference is full of the valuable AND the trivial and both are wonderful. If you've never played around with the Oracle of Baseball to find a chain of teammates, do so. It is mindless and yet fascinating entertainment.
And since it's RHP Kevin Millwood's 37th birthday today, let's start with him.
Mike Scott -> Ken Caminiti -> Kevin Millwood
Too easy. Let's go back to the Colt 45's days.
Jim Wynn -> Charlie Hough -> Chris Hammond -> Kevin Millwood
Still too easy. Let's go back to the Houston Buffs.
Dizzy Dean -> Les Moss -> Brooks Robinson -> Dennis Martinez -> Kevin Millwood
You can go keep going back to Babe Ruth or back to Honus Wagner and you can still link them in 6 degrees or less. So if you are bored waiting for Santa, come up with your own teammate chains. Have fun!
