Pitcher Buck Farmer is the most recent name to represent both organizations. The 32-year-old spent the first eight years of his career with Detroit before making the move to Ohio last season.

For some of the old school fans, Bob Wood would have been a great shout. The versatile right-handed hitter made his first appearance for the Reds back in 1898. He went on to play 57 games for Detroit between 1904-1905.

Irish born catcher and first baseman Jimmy Archer would have been a name many fans may have missed out on. Archer played just nine games for a Reds and 18 games for the Tigers.

Shortstop Johnny Lipon would have been another great answer. Lipon played in 758 games over a nine-year MLB career but is an interesting answer because he played just one game and had just one National League at-bat for the Reds in 1954.

For a full list of answers fans can visit the Baseball Reference website.

Paul Bako, Steve Boros, Brandon Dixon, Woodie Fryman, Bob Hazle, Todd Jones, Melvin Nieves, Edgar Renteria, Nolan Richardson and Ralph Works were some of the other acceptable answers.
