Baseball Players who Played for Cubs and Brewers
There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page then you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Cubs and the Brewers.
Jim Edmonds
Jim Edmonds was a superstar in baseball from 1993 to 2010, mostly known for his time with the Angels and Cardinals, but also played for the Padres, Reds, Cubs and Brewers. Edmonds was a serious threat at the plate and a wizard in the outfield, helping the Cardinals snag a World Series ring in 2006.
He hit over 390 home runs and kept a solid .284 batting average throughout his career. Edmonds was selected for the All-Star game four times and earned eight Gold Gloves for his spectacular defensive plays.
RARITY SCORE ALERT: Most fans remember Edmonds as an Angel or Cardinal. He only played half a season with the Brewers (73 games in 2010) and half a season with the Cubs (85 games in 2008).
For this reason, you have a good chance of getting a very low Immaculate Grid percentage with Edmonds on a Brewers / Cubs block.
Dan Plesac
Dan Plesac had an impressive 18-year career from 1986 to 2003. With stints at the Brewers, Cubs, Pirates, Blue Jays, Diamondbacks, and Phillies, Plesac was a three-time All-Star (Brewers) and one of the top relievers of his era.
He appeared in a total of 1,064 games, the majority as a reliever, ending his career with a 65-71 record, 3.64 ERA, and 158 saves. Plesac had one of his best years in 1989 when he posted a career-best 2.35 ERA with 33 saves for the Brewers.
Matt Stairs
Matt Stairs had a lengthy Major League career that spanned from 1992 to 2011, during which he played for 12 different teams, essentially making him an Immaculate Grid Hall-of-Famer.
Known for his power-hitting abilities, primarily as a pinch-hitter, he hit 265 home runs over his career and holds the record for the most pinch-hit home runs in MLB history with 23. Stairs had a career batting average of .262 with an OPS of .832, and recorded 899 RBIs.
Notably, in the 2008 postseason with the Philadelphia Phillies, he hit one of the most famous home runs in Phillies history, helping the team move onto the World Series that year.
