I can remember many jokes being made about Rusty Kuntz. Never funny, as the jokers were never baseball fans, and once the pronounciation was clarified, continued to make the same joke. They never appreciated a gothic-stenciled 'John Wockenfuss', with umlauts, on a school notebook. They simply didn't get it.
Though my grandfather spotted Ted Lyons working at numerous southern Michigan Mcdonald's restaurants, we all had the best laugh when he once spotted Kiki Cochrane waiting on another table at the Olive Garden. We laughed at the ballistic phonetics, asked for more bread, and generously tipped our waiter, Mickey Cuyler. When the meal was over, we took grandpa home, dressed him in his "Frankie Say Relax, Ron Cey At Ease" night shirt, vowed never to get Alzheimer's disease, and did a buncha stuff after that. I remember the smell of incense, and the silhouette of a dwarf, but I can't remember which side I was on.

Gotta go with Oil Can Boyd.

I love an old baseball nickname, and I think the guy's name was John Ferguson, or something like that. His nickname was 'Death to Flying Things.'

Actually, I thought of another of my favorite names that I haven't mentioned on any of the other threads. Rob Wilfong. It always makes me smile.

Pickles Dilhoefer

I can't believe that we have gone this far into the thread and not mentioned Coco Crisp. Every time I hear his name,I want to make myself a bowl of cereal.

One of the best PCL outfielders of all time was named Arthur Leland Hunt. Everyone called him Mike, and he seemed to prefer the name. Batted right, I think, and led the PCL in homers and RBI's in 1936 and 1937. His 10-year career in the PCL yielded 1,409 hits and a .313 career batting average. Played his best with the Seattle Indians/Rainiers, although he came up with the Seals and played briefly with the Mission Reds. He almost made the Majors in 1933 with the Braves, but had the misfortune of being injured that year.

When I was a kid I used to laugh at the name "Harmon Killebrew". I pictured this huge guy drinking one beer after another...

Later on, when I learned something about chemistry, "Al Kaline" became a pretty funny name.
