If nobody can get it, I’ll give a clue.

  2. I said complete list.

    Hint #1:

    Look at which years these guys played in.

  3. I’ll take a wild guess. They all pitched to both Griffeys and both Ripken brothers?

  4. No, but you’re on the right track. Whom these guys all faced has something to do with it.

  5. The years they all have in common are 1990 and 1991, and they were all in the AL. I first thought they all gave up HR to Cecil Fielder, but that’s not it. I’m still plugging away!

  6. They are all the pitchers faced by Don Wakamatsu in his major league career.

  7. Did they each give up home runs to Barry Bonds as both a Pirate and Giant?

  8. TheGoof is right…they are all the guys to have faced Don Wakamatsu, the new Mariners manager.
