Many baseball players can play more than one position, particularly utility men. These valuable substitutes are sometimes called on to play second base, third base, shortstop, or even the outfield. In 1965 Bert Campaneris of the (then) Kansas City Athletics played all the positions, and he did it in a single game.
Attendance had fallen off badly, and club owner Charley Finley dreamed up the gimmick in order to draw fans to the ballpark. He even took out a million-dollar insurance policy on Campaneris to dramatize the event.
Campaneris, normally a shortstop, opened that game against the California Angels playing his usual position. In the second inning he played second base, in the third inning he went to third base, and then went to the outfield for innings four, five and six. He played first base in the seventh, pitched in the eighth, and caught in the ninth.
In the final inning, while Campaneris was behind the plate, the Angels tried a double steal. Ed Kirkpatrick, a big 200-pounder, was on third, and he came steaming home. Campaneris took the throw and held on while Kirkpatrick bowled him over. After tagging Kirkpatrick, little Campy tried to fight with the bigger man. The insurance company was probably somewhat frightened by the collision, but Campy wasn’t hurt.
In 1968 Cesar Tovar of the Minnesota Twins matched the nine-position feat. The team Tovar faced was the Athletics. Tovar started out by pitching, and the first man he faced was Bert Campaneris!

One thing Liss didn’t mention about that game is that when Campaneris was pitching, he was switching from left-handed pitching against left-handed batters, to right-handed pitching against right-handed batters. That’s bonkers.
Ryan Flaherty played seven positions with the Orioles, plus DH. He never played CF or C, though I met him at a youth clinic and got him to admit he was the emergency catcher.
