Here's a thought experiment for Bauxites bored on a lazy December afternoon ...

You know how there are some players you can't think of without automatically thinking of another player at the same time? Maybe it's a double play combination (Trammell & Whitaker) ... Maybe it's a couple of middle-of-the-order guys (Bench & Perez) ... maybe it's a battery (hmmm ... nothing coming right to mind -- Ferrell & Sewell long ago, but who knows that combination these days?) ... Maybe it's a manager and a coach. And it doesn't have to be just two guys (Maddux, Glavine & Smoltz, anyone?). Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance doesn't technically qualify cuz there's no ampersand, but we'll let it slide.

So there's your conversation starter ... who are the opposite sides of baseball's most famous "&"s?
