#6 I got a hit for two different teams in two different cities in the same day.

That's easy. It's Joel Youngblood who got a hit for both the Mets and the Expos on Aug. 4, 1982.
What happened!? Youngblood traded between games?

To Rule in Kansas City Part I and Part II (Kansas City Royals 1969-73, Hall of Fame)
Cardinal Sins (St. Louis Cardinals 1976-78) and it's sequel:
Diverting Destiny (Montreal Expos 1994)
Script for my Requiem (New Orleans Blues (fictional) 1954)
He was actually traded in the 4th inning of the Mets @ Cubs game. He was taken out of the lineup, flown to Philly, where he came into the Expo @ Phillies game. In the first game he got the hit off Ferguson Jenkins and in the second he got the hit off Steve Carlton (both future HoF pitchers).
He also played every position but pitcher in his career.

i believe cannon jr was only drafted by the yanks in mlb (correct me if im wrong), plus he did play a game in the nfl
another hint is that my guy was drafted a total of 3 times by professional sports teams, twice by mlb teams

Ok, then my second guess is Charlie Ward. But...he was never drafted in the NFL...right? Teams refused to draft him in the first round..which is all he would go for. Everything I'm reading says he went undrafted.
But he was drafted twice in baseball, Yankees and Brewers..its got to be him.
Ahhh, drafted 3 times by sports teams....so the Knicks are the 3rd. Woohoo! I got it!
