Jason "Izzy" Isringhausen pitched for the Oakland Athletics before joining the St. Louis Cardinals as a free agent after the 2001 season.
The A's acquired Izzy, along with pitcher Greg McMichael from the Mets in return for Oakland closer Billy Taylor. Taylor was a bust for the Mets but Izzie went on to become a successful closer for the A's (he was formerly a starter in the Mets farm system), clinching the AL West division title in 2000 by saving the last game of the season against the Texas Rangers.
Following the 2001 season, Izzy joined the Cardinals as a free agent.

He was the closer for the A's and the pitching coach for the Cardinal's was his pitching coach for the A's. There's also LaRussa and McGwire who came from the A's.

He was actually an outfielder for the Mets. They turned him into a pitcher. I think he piched for the Braves before coming to St. Louis.
