John Olerude - Actually, Olerud (no 'e') had a rehab stint in his last year or two. While I know there are more than this, the ones I know are: Bob Feller , Al Kaline, Dave Winfield, and Bob Horner
Here's a list of members of the Baseball Hall of Fame who never played in the minor leagues? Excluding the black players who never made it to the major leagues, and players such as Ernie Banks, who made it to the majors directly from the Negro leagues, there are 14 such players. In the group of eight pitchers that skipped the minors are: Sandy Koufax, Bob Feller, Catfish Hunter, Walter Johnson, Ted Lyons, Chief Bender, Eppa Rixey and Eddie Plank. The other Hall of Famers without minor league records are Frankie Frisch, second baseman; George Sisler, first baseman, and Mel Ott, Dave Winfield, Al Kaline, right fielders, and Robin Yount of the Milwaukee Brewers.
about every single one of them, lol

No, a handful of polished college players go directly to the majors after being drafted, and also most of the Japanese players in the majors never played in the (American) minors.
That would be fun to talk to them but most have them have passed away by now+ You may wish to contact the Negro League Baseball Players Association at http://www.nlbpa.com. They have a "Contact Us" link which should help you get started with contacting the remaining players from that era. ANSWER I wouldn't get too discouraged - the Negro Leagues lasted until the early 60s, so plenty of former Negro Leaguers are only in their 60s and 70s
Since 1915, only two "major" leagues have been in existence; and literally hundreds (if not thousands) of players have been on teams in both leagues. During the seasons of 1914 and 1915, the Federal League operated; and baseball history officially recognizes this as a "major" league. Scores of players -- including six future Hall of Famers -- played in this league as well as either the AL and the NL; so most likely dozens have played in three major leagues. Likewise, a few entire TEAMS jumped from the Player's Association (1890) to the American Association, and then to the National League. Thus, some players went through three leagues in just over three years! I doubt anyone has played in four leagues that are presently and unambiguously considered "major."
The Negro Leagues
To many to count
None of the players that played in the 1997 Major League Baseball World Series regardless of being from the American League Champion; Cleveland Indians or the National League Champion; Florida Marlins are currently playing in the Major Leagues as of 2014.

Robinson was a product of the Negro Leagues, which played a more daring and exciting brand of baseball. He brought that bold style of play to the major leagues in 1947, particularly in the areas of baserunning and basestealing.

In order for players to be playable players in "MLB 08 The Show," they must have played at least 1 game in the previous Major League Baseball season and they cannot be 1 of the players that are known as "replacement players" meaning players who played during the 1995 season while there was a Baseball strike ongoing, this is because the replacement players are banned from entering into the Players' Association which means they cannot be in any games that are under license with Major League Baseball and the Players' Association.
Yes, there are baseball games in September. Major League Baseball plays regular season games all the way into the first week of October. The playoffs are played in October with the World Series ending in November. There are also fall league baseball games played in the month of September. This includes the MLB fall league, college fall leagues and high school fall leagues.
18 or 20. In games played where the home team is from the National League, there are 9 players on each team. In games played where the home team is from the American League there are 10 players on each team. This is because the American League allows for a designated hitter, whereas the National League does not.
