Here's a quiz question I just came up with after reading a baseball related article. A "fact" in that article inspired this quiz, although I think that the underlying "fact" I'm relying upon is incorrect. Explanations to follow, But first this quiz which is probably correct even if the aforementioned "fact" might not be.

Who are the only two Mets who were teammates of Willie Mays and Hank Aaron? To win this quiz, you have to correctly identify the two Mets in the same post.

Jim Beauchamp and Félix Millan.

Yeah, that article I read should be fact checked. I was thinking of Millan and George Stone. Beauchamp also qualifies. The article I'm referring to is a piece about George Stone. The article states that Stone was one of only three players to have played with Mays and Aaron. Which just can't be right. Maybe Stone was one of only three Mets to have teamed with Mays and Aaron.

Anyway, here's the piece:

Lotsa stuff on the Seaver/Stone '73 WS decision.

Plus George Stone and Danny F. Frisella, I would gather.

Ray Sadecki.

Did it the hard way. Played with Mays in San Francisco, played with Aaron in Milwaukee, and played with the Mets in between.

Millan and Stone are the first two I thought of.
