Favorite player names

[genegodawa]

Pier told me about a player who changed his name and that got me to thinking about weird or funny player names. Guess we can open this one up to any sport, huh?

Saw one of those indoor football games with that guy who has HE HATE ME or something like that on his jersey - did NOT like that.

I think my all time favorite name belongs to an ex-Oriole/Expo infielder - Razor Shines!!!!!!

Let's hear some more.

Geno,

My Cubbie Loving Friend, you have the classic baseball name right here in the Windy City. I'm surprised you didn't think of it. The Cubs coach, Dick POLE! That is a classic.

I kinda liked Little Walt Williams who had the nickname "No Neck" for obvious reasons too.

YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD...YES!

When I first heard of Coco Crisp I had to take another look to see if it was real.

Me too and I always hated the name and hoped he would be a stiff, but he has turned out to be a Stud.

Detroit Lions player = Harry Colon

[Swamprat72]

I have kind of an odd one... There was a Phillies player (and I have his card)that has the same name as me, Tom Marsh.

[Fishook]

How about pitcher "Oil Can Boyd"? Played for several teams not too far back.

[genegodawa]

I believe that was Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd.

Windy, you walked yourself into this one: To answer your question, just let me say, that in Chicago it is probably only male WSox fans who walk around thinking about Dick.

[CNY Tim]

LMFAO :^)

[Duffman]

Dick Trickle

Dang you buzz, Mr. Colon was another one of mine.

I always thought that Chuck Long was a great name for a quarterback.
