Baseball Players who Played on Brewers and Mets
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 Milwaukee Brewers and New York Mets.
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 Brewers and the Mets.
Gary Sheffield
Gary Sheffield was a beast on the baseball field and is a beast on the Immaculate Grid. He played from 1988 to 2009, suiting up for eight different teams – Marlins, Dodgers, Brewers, Yankees, Braves, Padres, Tigers and Mets.
Sheffield helped the Marlins snag a World Series Championship in ’97. Over his career, he cranked out 509 home runs (one of 28 players who hit over 500) and had a solid .292 batting average.
Sheffield was a nine-time All-Star, but his multiple stops along his career are what makes him really stand out for this particular game.
Daniel Vogelbach
Daniel Vogelbach was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the second round of the 2011 MLB Draft. He is a first baseman but has primarily filled the role of designated hitter, who has played for the Mariners, Brewers, Blue Jays, Pirates and Mets.
In his MLB career, Vogelbach has shown power at the plate, highlighted by his All-Star selection in 2019 while with the Mariners. In that season, he hit 30 home runs and drove in 76 runs, batting .208 with a .341 on-base percentage.
Vogelbach has been known for his strong batting eye and home run ability. His defensive limitations have often led him to be used as a designated hitter in the American League.

Hideo Nomo
Hideo Nomo was a trailblazing pitcher who played from 1995 to 2008. Best known for his time with the Dodgers, he also played for one year each with the Royals, Rays, Mets, Red Sox, Tigers and Brewers.
Nomo was the first Japanese player in the MLB in the modern era and he immediately made a splash, earning the Rookie of the Year award in 1995.
Known for his distinctive “tornado” delivery, Nomo racked up over 120 wins and more than 1,900 strikeouts during his career including a National League leading 236 in his rookie season.
He also threw two no-hitters, one of them in the notoriously hitter-friendly Coors Field.
Carlos Gomez
Carlos Gomez was a dynamic outfielder in MLB, playing from 2007 to 2019 for multiple teams including the Mets, Twins, Brewers, Astros, Rangers, and Rays.
Over his career, Gomez was selected to the All-Star team twice (Brewers) and won the Gold Glove award (Brewers) in 2013. He had a career batting average of .252, hit 145 home runs, and stole 268 bases (had multiple 30+ stolen base seasons with the Brewers), demonstrating both power and speed.
