Seeing that photo of Joel Youngblood above (section 18308) reminded me of Youngblood's rare feat of 2 hits for 2 different teams in different cities on the same day (August 4, 1982).
He got a basehit for the NY Mets in a day game Vs. the Cubs in Chicago off Ferguson Jenkins was traded mid-game to the Montreal Expos and then playing for his new team that night in Philadelphia, Youngblood got a base hit off the Phillies' Steve Carlton.
It would have been a rare enough feat just to hit safely in 2 games for different teams,in different cities on the same day, but Youngblood also got hits off future Hall Of Famers.
