Players who played all nine positions in one game

It takes a certain amount of panache and athleticism to play all nine positions during a major league career. I read that 22 players in major league history have accomplished the feat. The Baseball Almanac claims that 47 players have done the deed, but Almanac credits a player with having just played the outfield. It doesn’t break it down if the player has played all three outfield positions. Of the 22 I foound, four have ties to Kansas City baseball. Those men are: Bert Campaneris, Cookie Rojas, Bill Pecota and Shane Halter.

In fact, Campaneris was the first man in major league history to play all nine positions in one game.
