Breakdown:

The players are considered to of played for the team that they were a member of during their last MLB appearance, with the league being the league that their team is currently a member of. Since their final team is listed, the team they're associated with may not be listed. An example of this is Yogi Berra who made his final appearance as a Met, not a Yankee.  If the player was a member of a relocated team their modern teams in listed. 

7 NL, 4 AL

Note: If you consider only the team each player was associated with, 7 players were American Leaguers. 

2 Atlanta Braves*, 1 New York Mets, 1 New York Yankees, 1 Baltimore Orioles, 1 Pittsburgh Pirates, 1 Philadelphia Phillies, 1 Boston Red Sox, 1 Milwaukee Brewers, 1 Minnesota Twins, 1 St. Louis Cardinals
