Edwin Jackson, Octavio Dotel and the 2011 Cardinals

When Edwin Jackson started a game last week for the Toronto Blue Jays, he became the first player to every play for 14 different Major League teams. The previous record holder was Octavio Dotel, who played for 13.

Those two journeymen of journeymen teamed up only once, in St. Louis, to help the organization win its 11th World Series title.

By the summer of 2011, Dotel was 37-years-old and in his 12th year in the league. He began his career as so many great relievers do, as a lousy starting pitcher.
