Patrick’s Day was not the same this year in the city of Cincinnati. One of its most popular Irish residents, Jim O’Toole, passed away last December.

O’Toole was the ace of the Reds’ pitching staff in the early 1960s, even starting several World Series games against the Yankees in the 1961 Fall Classic. That was the season he the lefty won 19 games with a 3.10 earned run average while logging 252 innings for the NL champions.

After earning 94 wins in his nine-year career with Cincinnati, O’Toole spent his final season with the Chicago White Sox in 1968. As soon as he retired, he returned to Cincinnati, where he spent the rest of his life. Most people in Queen City, especially those too young to see him pitch, knew O’Toole through his eleven children.

O’Toole may not have been the greatest Irish bowler of all time, but he would certainly be part of any list of players whose last names begin with the famous ‘O’ followed by an apostrophe. Here are the possible teammates who would start with him on such a team.

Receiver, Charlie O’Brien
In a long career, he played for the Brewers, Mets and six other teams between 1985 and 2000.

First baseman, Pete O’Brien
The left-handed hitter held the number three position for the 1980s Rangers.

Second baseman, Danny O’Connell
A versatile center infielder, he also played third and short for various teams between 1950 and 1962.

Shortstop, Frank O’Rourke
This Irishman had a career that spanned from 1912 to 1931, consisting of stints in Boston, Detroit, Brooklyn, Washington, and St. Louis.

Third baseman, Tom O’Malley
In the eighties and nineties, he dressed for six different teams in the hot corner.

Left field, lefty O’Doull
This star left fielder finished second in MVP voting as a member of Philadelphia in 1929, when he hit 32 home runs with 122 RBI while leading the league with a .398 batting average. Even more impressive is his career average of .349.

Center Garden, Troy O’Leary
Most of his eleven years were spent with Boston, the best of which was 1999. He hit 28 home runs, drove in 103 and hit .280.

Right field, Paul O’Neill
After winning the 1990 World Series with Cincinnati, O’Neill became a big part of the Yankee dynasty that dominated the rest of that decade.

Designated Hitter, Jim O’Rourke
Splitting time between catcher and outfield, he played for eight teams between 1870 and 1904.

Pitcher, Hank O’Day
This Hall of Fame pitcher dominated the early years of Major League Baseball, playing from 1884 to 1890.
