Not every player in the league gets traded, let alone five times in their career, as Chris Pronger did. From Hartford, to St. Louis, to Edmonton, to Anaheim, to Philadelphia, to Arizona, the Hall of Fame defenceman has been around the block.

“He’s Naked, and They’re Naked”: MLB Broadcaster Reacts to Bizarre Stadium Scene as Braves Spoil the Party for Dodgers
