Pitchers and catchers report for our first trivia question today.

The usual rules apply ...

 

We have three backstops in camp -- Rick Dempsey, Ellie Hendricks and Sergio Robles. They are here to catch the candidates for our starting rotation first -- righties John Smoltz, John Montefusco and Dave Pagan, as well as a gaggle of lefties in Ken Holtzman, Pete Richert, Scott McGregor and Rudy May. Then we can worry about the bullpen, which has a variety of candidates to set up righty closer Duane Ward, guys like lefties Grant Jackson, Tippy Martinez, Bob O'Brien and Jimmy Freeman, and righties Adrian Devine and Andy McGaffigan. A few position players have come to camp early, too, including one Hall of Famer in Frank Robinson, along with "regular Joes" like Larvell Blanks, Pepe Frias and Royle Stillman.

So here's the question ... what do the more than 20 major league alumni listed in that previous paragraph all have in common?
