This Brief Report is an addendum to a previous Letter. The usefulness of measuring Drell-Yan pairs in single-spin hadron-hadron collisions is discussed in more detail and the following points are explicitly shown. (i) In the central rapidity region, the average transverse momentum and the left-right asymmetry of the produced Drell-Yan pairs should not only be nonvanishing, but also be much larger than those of the produced mesons. (ii) The effect of QCD corrections on the proposed model do not change the qualitative features of the results published in the Letter.
