  • Worst Baseball player names

    What are the worst birth names of MLB players you've come across? I'm thinking of worst in terms of negative connotations.

    I just saw that pitcher Luke Heimlich signed in the Mexican league, and wondered how many times he's heard about "choking" since little league.

    There have been a few others I've seen lately, but they evade me. Obviously "Balfour" was a bad name for a pitcher.
    Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

    Wasn't Bob Walk a pitcher for the Pirates?

    Have I told you about otters being the only marine animal that can lift rocks?

            yesterday the Bears signed a kicker to replace Cody "Double Doink" Parkey - the new guy's last name is Blewitt.

            Nick and Steve Swisher would have been cooler for pitchers.

            Dick Pole. Randy Johnson. Cannonball Dick Redding. Pete LaCock. Ed Head. Johnny Dickshot.

            Coco Crisp. Milton Bradley.

              I always thought Grant Balfour was never destined for greatness as a pitcher. Though he had a few good seasons.

              edit: oops, just reread & saw that you referenced him in the OP
              It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                Yes, and currently one of the Pirates TV/radio color commentators.

                          when I was a kid, I remember a question on one of the popular TV game shows was who invented the brassiere.

                          the answer, according to the host, was "Otto Titzling." real prize money hung on that answer (so to speak).

                          turns out a satirical book came out in that era that came up with quite the fancy story - and people fell for it.
