James Vernon Handrahan (November 27, 1936 – November 2, 2016) was a Canadian pitcher in Major League Baseball who played his entire career for the Kansas City Athletics. He is noted for being one of only three Major League Baseball players from Prince Edward Island, the others being 19th-century players George Wood and Henry Oxley.[1]

He appeared in 34 games for the Athletics in 1964 and 1966, primarily as a relief pitcher. He died in Charlottetown on November 2, 2016.[2]
