Journeyman Jackson on the verge of history. MORE:
How does someone pitch for 14 different teams before his 36th birthday?is on the verge of accomplishing exactly that after the right-hander was traded from Oakland to Toronto. He is expected to start for the Blue Jays this week, in which case he would set a record by pitching for a 14th team.
Jackson got an early start, making his major league debut on his 20th birthday, and his career has included some highs and lows. He's won a World Series, thrown a no-hitter and appeared in an All-Star game. But mostly, he's been ordinary — not consistently good enough to stick with one team, but solid enough in stretches to earn plenty of opportunities.
Here's a look at Jackson's journey, including stats from each of his stops, courtesy of Baseball-Reference.com. The Dodgers drafted Jackson in the sixth round in 2001, and he made his big league debut in 2003. But in a sign of things to come, he struggled to keep his walk totals down and pitched only sparingly before being traded to Tampa Bay.Jackson was a regular starter for Tampa Bay in 2007 and 2008, and in the latter year he went 14-11 with a 4.42 ERA.
