Known for his trademark glasses, the Royals and Pirates were just two of the many teams that reliever Kyle Farnsworth represented over the course of his 16-year career. The Iowa native appeared in 78 games for the Kansas City Royals between 2009 and 2010. In 2013, he appeared in just nine games for the Pirates after being dealt to Steeltown by the Tampa Bay Rays, mid-season.

Those who remember the 1979 World Series will certainly remember Omar Moreno. The Panamanian center fielder began his career in Pittsburgh, and led the NL in stolen bases in 1978 and 1978. In 1985, he was traded from the Yankees to the Royals, where he won another World Series.

Jason Kendall made it to three All-Star games as a catcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, also finishing at third place in the 1996 NL Rookie of the Year vote after slashing .300/.372/.401. After leaving the Pirates in 2004, Kendall bounced around some of the league's teams before appearing in 118 games for the 2010 Royals, before calling it quits.

Finally, Mexican closer Joakim Soria is also a viable Aug. 2 Grid answer. A two-time All-Star, Soria saved 132 games for the Kansas City Royals between 2007 and 2011. A Tommy John surgery cut his time with the Royals, and he took a two-year hiatus. In 2015, he appeared in 29 games for the PIirates, striking out 28, and allowing six earned runs across 26 innings.
