The 'Legal MLB spitballers' quiz

Can you name the 17 MLB pitchers allowed to throw the spitball after a 1920 ruling outlawed the pitch. In 1920, a rule was put into effect by Major League Baseball that outlawed the spitball and other substance-abuse type pitches. A group of pitchers who depended upon the spitball pitch were officially listed and allowed to continue throwing it for the remainder of their career (re: Baseball Almanac). How many of these 17 sanctioned spitball pitchers can you name? NYG=New York Giants, BOB=Boston Braves, BKD=Brooklyn Dodgers, STB=St. Louis Browns Quiz clue: Team. Good luck!
