Might as well start this with the A's too. Go through the alphabet naming players for the A's, skipping q,u,and x. First and last names ok. Philadelphia, KC, and Oakland.

Isringhausen was my "I". He's the only Oakland player whose last name begins with I.

the J was taken care of when someone else mentioned Jim Hunter. I know I'm late in mentioning this. but I just realized that he may have misunderstood my post right befor e that.
