Here’s a fun trivia factoid: How many trades in baseball history have swapped one Hall of Famer for another?
A: By my count, the answer is eight, two involving the Baltimore Orioles.*
One was in 1958, when the Birds sent Larry Doby, the first African-American player to make it to the American League, to Cleveland in exchange for Dick Williams and two other players (Williams would make it to Cooperstown as a manager for the Athletics).
The other one, in 1963, saw the Orioles and the White Sox swap one of the greatest knuckleballers in history for one of the greatest defensive shortstops.
