How to play

  1. Read the path: every franchise the player played for, in the order he joined, with the seasons of each spell.
  2. Type a name and pick it from the list. You have 6 guesses.
  3. Each miss tells you how many of the path's teams that player shared, and unlocks a hint: position, career, bats and throws, birthplace, then initials.
  4. A new daily player at midnight UTC; unlimited mode deals a new one every round.

The 1,706 possible players are notable careers that took in at least three franchises, from the SABR Lahman Baseball Database (1876–2025, CC BY-SA 3.0). Old names are shown under today's franchise (Montreal Expos seasons appear as Washington Nationals, Brooklyn seasons as Los Angeles Dodgers).

MLB career path: guess the player from his teams: questions

How does the career path game work?

You see the franchises the hidden player played for, in the order he joined them, with the seasons of each spell. Type a name and pick it from the list. After each wrong guess a new hint appears: position, then career years, then bats and throws, then where he was born, then his initials.

Which players can come up?

Notable players (the MLB Wordle pool) who played for at least three franchises, from the Lahman Baseball Database.

Why does a team appear twice?

Because he went back. A gap of a season or more between two spells with the same franchise is shown as two separate stops. Old names count for today’s franchise, so an Expos spell shows as the Washington Nationals.

When does the daily player change?

At midnight UTC, the same player for everyone. Unlimited mode is not tied to the date.
