I haven't done summer Friday trivia in a while
I think there are 3 members of the 500+ home run club who came up in one city, left town, and then returned to finish their career in the same city . Name them

...and Aaron - Milwaukee, Atlanta, Milwaukee.
There's a fourth and fifth that I can think of.

Eddie Murray tried to get on the list, but after returning to Baltimore, wound up hanging on for one more uneventful year after that in California

Ruth, Aaron, and Mays were the ones I was thinking of. I actually thought Jackson was too, but did some due diligence before posting the question because I wasn't sure if he might have had a stint in KC (which he did)
Not a clue whom Victor's kids are thinking of, but anxious to find out

D'OH I missed an easy one - I think I got one of SOV's No problem with SOV keeping us waiting. My bad for asking incomplete questions. Maybe there's a reason I haven't done this all summer

Im pretty sure Albert Pujols returned to the Cardinals after he left in free agency.

I was thinking of Griffey and Pujols.
Looks like 78 got some more.

Good question!
Sosa's a tricky one because his first (only the beginning of it) and last years were in Texas, no others.
Junior a bit tricky too- his finale (2 season) w/the Mariners were quite forgettable and a bit sad.
Had no clue Jimmie Foxx played for anyone else after the Red Sox.
Finally, the '76 Padres and '76 A's were pretty bad teams and I have no recollection of Willie McCovey playing for either team (he played for both, his only year as a non-Giant, back to SF for his final 4 years).
