Owen Friend played in parts of five major league seasons, splitting time between five different clubs over 208 career games. I doubt players were very into framing their own jersey's back then, but if Owen wanted to, he could have filled up a pretty good sized rec room.
I've got two schools of thought when it comes to playing for multiple teams. If you're going to spend more than a decade in the league, I thinks it's better to spend it all with one club. But for guys like Owen, I think I'd rather play for as many teams as possible. Of course, I imagine it's hard to know whether you're destined for a couple quick cups of coffee, or a solid decade plus of everyday playing time.

He may have played for five teams but he never wore another cap as cool as that Brownies one.
