In 1998, with the additions of Arizona and Tampa Bay, Major League Baseball expanded to it's current 30 team format.
Can you name any/all of the players that debuted prior to the 1998 season that have seen action in a game during the 2013 season?
Hint #1 - Of the 1,137 players who have seen regular season action in 2013, prior to the all star break, only 17 debuted prior to opening day 1998.
Hint #2 - Don't be tricked, there are additional player(s) who debuted prior to 1998 who are currently on active 40 man rosters who have yet to play in a game this year.
Try not to cheat!
*As correct players are named, I will list them in the original comment so that everyone knows how many are left to be named.
Darren Oliver (Debuted 9-1-1993)
LaTroy Hawkins (Debuted 4-29-1995)
