Great Baseball Names

The A's also have a less fortuitously named pitcher in Grant Balfour.

University of California Berkeley has a player named Chad Bunting. Mom and Dad must have known he'd play baseball!

Dice-K proved prolefic... You were pretty much rolling the dice if he'd throw a strike..

Homer Bailey...talented pitcher for the Reds. But not well named for a pitcher.

Ruglous Odor... a coach in the Cleveland Indians organization and former player in the Tribe farm system.

Wasn't baseball supposedly first invented by Abner Doubleplay...my bad it was Doubleday!

While perusing some old games, I found a lineup from the 1953 Detroit Tigers and:

Matt Batts

Well, it's not a baseball name, rather a football name, but a great American Indian player out of the University of Washington who would have had a solid NFL career but for the rampant discrimination against anyone but a white quarterback in the 1960's:

Sonny Sixkiller.

then there's the all currency team ~
