2 specific player questions.
Elmer Flick
Napoleon Lajoie
You have both on the Phillies.
Elmer Flick spent 9 years with Cleveland and 4 years with Pha.
Nap Lajoie spent 13 of his 21 years with Cleveland. (The team was even known as the Cleveland Naps while he played there.)

@ignats75 - Each player is listed as a member of the "original" team that he signed his first professional contract with. Elmer Flick and Napoleon Lajoie would be a member of the Phillies for the duration of his career in this scenario. This is the same methodology that I utilized for selecting the rosters for my book, "Hardball Retrospective".
