TalkSox Hall Of Name Thread

[Spudboy]

This thread is for anyone motivated to suggest a Major League player whose name is remarkable. They don't have to have been a prolific talent, just "nameworthy".

Feel free to add any relevant stories you may have about the player. I'll start by suggesting CoCo Laboy (Montreal 3rd baseman).

There have been so many great names throughout baseball history, good thread idea.

Piano Legs Hickman, Three Finger Brown......there's so many.

 

I think the single best sounding name though is Mickey Mantle.

What does the fact that half the names you guys have come up with relate to penis and/or male masturbation imply? Rampant latent homosexuality, or chronic juvenile mindset?

 

The debate rages on.

 

heh heh...'Wacker'
