Rick Vanden Hurk become the 5th player from the Netherlands to appear in a MLB game when he started for the Marlins Tuesday night.

Can you name the other four?

Stipulation to the question is all the players have played since 1900, the Modern Era, no one playing before 1900 is eligible.

Whormoan,
Ask the mods for my home email.
If you want to email me at work it is poker@ the name of the hotel I work at dot com.

Right now I have computer difficulties at work and am off the next two days, so don't know when I'll get back on that end. Just ask the mods to shoot me an email.

Gravy, I kinda wish you waited a little bit on the post, no big deal

I should have gotten Andruw Jones, I knew he played on their team in the WBC

Sorry but Andruw isn't really Dutch...I guess he probably has a Dutch passport but if you asked him, he'd certainly say he's Curacaoan

Gravy,
That's not the answer I had. Andruw Jones is not from the Netherlands, but the Netherlands Antilles (Curacao). I have a hard time believing Lenny Dykstra is from the Netherlands as well.

Let me rephrase the question, name the 5 players BORN in the Netherlands to have appeared in a MLB game.

Rick Vanden Hurk is obviously the fifth.

Bert Blyleven is one of them.

So we still need 3 more.

One played for the Giants in the 90s.
One was a light hitting shortstop, brought up in the Yankee farm system.
The other is an obscure pitcher from 79-80.

Mulder played for them in the WBC, not sure if he was born there. Will check now. Blyleven was the only one I knew.

Nope, was born in Illinois. Coincidentally enough, South Holland, Illinois.
