[Lark11]

Y has to be Yaz.

[Lark11]

He probably didn't hit enough, but Joe DiMaggio for D?

He was my guess, too, but he's over 50 short.

[awnawboi21]

E = Edmonds? or Dwight Evans?
I = Raul Ibanez?
L = Larkin?
Q = Carlos Quentin? Robb Quinlann? Doubtful for either one considering they're both inexperienced...but they're the only Qs I can think off right now.
V = Greg Vaughn? or Mo Vaughn?
Z = Todd Zeile?

[mexicanred]

E= Evans (The one that played for the tigers and giants) Darryl?

[GMBurchfield]

I say the Q has to be Mark Quinn because he is the only one out of the 3 players that I thought of that played more than 1 or 2 seasons. I remember I always wanted the Reds to get him included in a trade for Jose Rosado if it ever happened so I cant remember why but there has to be a reason I wanted him back then.

[quantumfootball]

Is I Pete Incaviglia?

[quantumfootball]

Is L Ray Lankford?

Mark Quinn is correct. 45HR in 4 seasons with Kansas City.

Ray Lankford had 238. He's over 50 shy of the leader.

[dukecrunchybagel]

L is probably Greg Luzinski

[schellis]

It is
