It is Thursday afternoon, the season is a week old, and the Texas Rangers are off.
So I decided to offer up a trivia question.
First, a couple of rules...
1 — Put a spoiler over your answer in the comments.
2 — Don’t go digging around on baseball sites to try to discover the answer. This is a trivia question, not a scavenger hunt.
Here is an alphabetical list of professional baseball players:
Aaron Cunningham
Andrew Heaney
Austin Barnes
Brett Anderson
Carlos Gonzalez
Chris Carter
Chris Hatcher
Connor Robertson
Dana Eveland
Daric Barton
Dee Strange-Gordon
Elliot Soto
Greg Smith
Ivan Pinevro
Joe Saunders
Kike Hernandez
Kiko Calero
Mark Mulder
Miguel Rojas
Patrick Corbin
Rafael Rodriguez
Tyler Skaggs
These players all have something in common, and this is a complete list of every professional baseball player who has this commonality (so, for example, the answer can’t be “Players who have never been in my kitchen,” because Ty Cobb and Andres Blanco and Bernie Carbo, among others, also haven’t been in your kitchen).
