I've mixed up Álex González and Alex Gonzalez at least twice on the Grid. One time I typed in the one I didn't mean and got it right by accident.
AG #1: 1994-2006, shortstop, .243/.302/.391, 11.2 WAR, played for the Jays
AG #2: 1998-2014, shortstop, .243/.288/.388, 9.4 WAR, played for the Jays
Only AG #2 played in the WS for the 2003 Marlins. They're each on the other's Similarity Score list (906.0).

two weeks pass...
Another Alex Gonzalez situation: the two Brian Hunters (which I noticed when I checked grid answers for the Mariners/Phillies today; both would have worked. I only remember one of them, and barely at that).
Brian Hunter #1: 1991-2000, 1B, six teams, .234/.298/.430, 67 HR, OPS+ 89, 0.2 bWAR
Brian Hunter #2: 1994-2003, OF, six teams, .264/.313/.346, 25 HR, OPS+ 72, 7.4 bWAR
Both played for the Reds, Phillies, and Mariners; #1 played in three WS with the Braves (why I remember him--one was against the Jays), #2 never had a postseason AB.

Adam Duvall/Adam Dunn--not always, but today, when Duvall was mentioned in another thread (me: "Adam Dunn is still playing?").

i never knew there were two Brian Hunters, i'm sure i knew about both of them but thought they were the same guy. some kind of mythical player for the Braves, probably, who could hit for some power but also steal 70+ bases, imagine that.
