Here is a new game. we name a player with the last name starting with A.
the next person uses the last letter of the last name and names someone with a last name starting with that letter. Please don't end the chain by naming Jimmie Foxx or Nellie Fox or anyone else ending in x.(an example, if we weree naming presidents, it might go Arthur, Roosevelt, Truman, Nixon. But we are doing baseball players.)
I'll start with Hank Aaron (http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.php?p=aaronha01). Now someone do an N.
