I wish I could take full credit for it Johnny. But Jake83 started it with the Dodgers and I fell in love with it. So I decided to start a few myself. I'll probably start one for most of the older teams, if someone doesn't beat me to it.(which I won't mind,by the way.)

[JohnnysGhost]

No way can i come up with an "I":mad:

[soberdennis]

I had to research to come up wit Happy Iott from 1903.
Unless we can find more through similar research we can skip the I from now on.

[ACrank]

John Lowenstein - the only man who said play me or pay me....

[ACrank]

Mike Kekich - along with fellow ex Indians and Yankee Fritz Peterson was more famous for another trade....

[ACrank]

Ron Lolich - better known as Mickey's cousin, but also known for hitting a walkoff grand slam to win a game against the RedSox (i happened to be at that game and even tho it happened 30 some years ago i can remember it like it was yesterday)

It's just too arduous to kist all players used all the time. No other alpha-thread does it anyway. Even though we should try not to reuse players, if we do who cares.
