TRIVIAL TRIVIA - Sorry no prizes :(

When I was in high school my 11th grade english teacher knew I was a hugh baseball fan and would give me baseball trivia questions:

Here is one that at the time stumped me:

Name two major leaguers( could be passed or presant); one of which has all 5 vowels in the spelling of his first name and one of which has all 5 vowels in the spelling of his last name. The vowels being A, E, I , O, and U.

There are more then likely multiple correct answers to each.

FYI: I was in 11th grade in 1975.

    Screw the Twins. They bumped off my Tigers in '87, then proceded to bump off my Cardinals that same year. And then, if that wasn't enough, they whacked my Braves in '91. If history holds they'll somehow find a way to get to the Tigers AGAIN this year.
