Larry Andersen finished his career at 40-39 with a 3.15 ERA.

After retiring in 1996, he became a coach, the first in the Devil Rays' organization and then in the Phillies organization, becoming the Phillies hitting coach in 2004.

Answer: Milt Thompson

Atlanta drafted Milt Thomspon out of Howard University in the second round of the 1979 draft and he retired with a .274 batting average and 37 triples. Von Hayes led the NL in doubles (46), extra base hits (67) and runs (107) in 1986, an All-Star in 1989, but is remembered mainly for coming to Philadelphia as the 'one' in a 5-for-1 trade (the 'five' included Julio Franco).
