Hershall Walker to the Vikings for the entire future of the program. The Dallas Cowboys used the picks given to them by Minnesota to get Irvin, Aikman, and Smith and a couple Super Bowl rings. They actually already had Aikman and Irvin, but the trade did net them Smith, as well as other valuable players like Russell Maryland, Dixon Edwards, Alvin Harper and Darren Woodson. To the topic at hand, I'll say Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza. Forever connected by a chunk of broken bat. Uh...I think the whole beaning thing connecting them first

Kermit Washington and Rudy Tomjanovich. Good one. There's a book called "The Punch" that deals with the whole affair. It's a good read.

in Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Car racing : Doug Esh and Adam Wilt.
Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr. Even after Jagr left, the WAY he left was intrinsically linked to Mario (see Jagr's pouting during the 2001 playoffs when Mario re-asserts his leadership over the team)
And for an odd example that probably WON'T be remembered, but involves two players linked all the same:
Chris Pronger and Joffrey Lupul. When Anaheim got Pronger from Edmonton, Lupul went the other way. When Philadelphia got Pronger from Anaheim, Lupul went the other way.

Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. Their rivalry mesmerised Formula 1 fans in the late 80s/early 90s. Same to an extent with Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill in the mid 90s.

"These are the saddest of possible words, Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance."
"Move over Babe, here comes Henry." (Ernie Harwell song from 1973 about Aaron's push for Ruth's career HR record. I have the record personally signed.)
-Steve Carlton & Tim McCarver. (Story is that Tim caught all of Steve's games. "When we die," Tim would joke, "we'll be buried 60' 6" apart.")
-Don Drysdale & Sandy Koufax.
-Pete Rose & Ty Cobb.
-Frank Thomas & Robin Ventura ("Batman & Robin", as the White Sox would try to market. I can't think of one without the other.)
-Rickey Henderson & Lou Brock.
-Jose Canseco & Mark McGwire, "The Bash Brothers".
