Youngblood had driven in the winning run for the Mets in an afternoon game at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs, and then singled in a night game for the Expos in Philadelphia after he had been traded. Interestingly, the two pitchers he hit safely against, Ferguson Jenkins of the Cubs and Steve Carlton of the Phillies, are both in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

I would have thought that would have been hard to do since, well can you play 2 games for two different teams, well in less you have gotten traded, and one of them were a night game, but you still have to make sure the player learns that they have been traded. But I would say, and I bet you will, the best answer in this question is Kent's answer. He has provided an asnwer, he has a source to back up his answer, and he has all thumbs up, and well, nobody else will deserve it more.
