I hope none of these were asked before. Even did a search for them.
1. Name the 3 players to have played for the Mets, Yanks, Cubs and White Sox.
(It's already been asked on here for Mets, Yanks, Dodgers, Giants: Strawberry, Ledee, Vizcaino)
2. The Mets have had 5 sets of players with the same first and last names, although not necessarily at the same time. Name them.

"Name the 3 players to have played for the Mets, Yanks, Cubs and White Sox."
I'll give you one: Dick Tidrow. The second and third, I dunno.
"2. The Mets have had 5 sets of players with the same first and last names, although not necessarily at the same time. Name them."
Robert Johnson (Briefly a pitcher plus an infielder who was one of their many third basemen...and I don't think those were the only two, either)
Robert Jones (On the same team, same time.)
Robert Miller (Again, same team, same time.)
Santos Alomar (The first played as a third baseman in the 1960's, the second as a backup catcher this year.)
Pedro Martinez (The first one I know from his appearance in a 1990's yearbook and remember joking about how we got the wrong Pedro Martinez, the other, well, duh...)

Good job on the sets of Mets. I forgot about adding Sandy Alomar the son this year to his father, so it's actually 6 sets of Mets with the same name and you need 1 more.
Tidrow is right for NY-Chi. One of the others is before Tidrow and the other after.

How about Mike Marshall - relief pitcher and first baseman. They also both played for the Dodgers.
