The Six Degrees of Kevin Millwood

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!
