For those of us who aren't educated enough to come up with ballplayers whose names match those of famous philosophers (or whose knowledge of same comes mostly from Monty Python's Australian philosophers drinking song), here's another fun game to occupy or kill off unneeded brain cells: chains of players.

Here's how it works: find a player whose last name is the same as the first name of another player, and build a chain.

For example, here's one with two Joses in it:

Jose Cruz Junior Felix Jose Canseco

A few other short examples, to get you started:

Dave Nelson Norman Siebern (using full given names is allowed)
Gene Michael Warren Spahn
Gene Michael Stanley Javier Lopez
