I'm surprised I hadn't heard of this, since it happened last month.

Hope this doesn't affect his lucrative endorsement deal:

All jokes aside, his parents must have had an awesome sense of humor naming him Milton, or were board game fans.

He's named after his father, Milton Bradley, Sr.

Ahh, then his father's parents must have had a good sense of humor or liked board games (the company was founded in 1860).

Its nonsense like this thread which keeps me from spending more time on the internet and on various sports sites. Bradley might be an idiot, but there's also something about not bearing false witness against thy neighbor. I'm glad I visit BBF from time to time, and that I'm not tempted to make things up.

Not much worse than Coco Crisp. He seems to have adjusted just fine.

Well natural he was named after his father. Do you know of anyone who was named at the same time as or before their father?

I don't think anybody got that joke. I had to read it like 10 times to finally laugh.

I got it. It's one of those where it's kind of stupid but it's funny. It's something a little kid would honestly ask.

Benny Hill used to do a version of that joke . . . "She was named after Queen Victoria. And not so damn LONG after, either!"

Uh, not that I ever watched Benny Hill or anything . . . .
