🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 2011 - Kelly Shoppach and David Murphy

Back in 2011 - Kelly Shoppach, a member of the Tampa Bay Rays at the time and David Murphy, a member of the Texas Rangers, both earned spots in the MLB postseason.

The former Bears actually faced off in the AL Division Series that year with Murphy’s Rangers sweeping Tampa Bay that year en route to a spot in the 2011 World Series.

🐻 Enjoy your Tuesday, y’all!
