Simeon Woods Richardson
Simeon Woods Richardson admits that he had thought about the absurdity of what his full last name would look like on the back of a Major League team’s jersey. It’s 16 characters long, pushing him decisively past the previous labyrinthine-last-name leader, former big league catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, for what’s believed to be the longest name on the back of a jersey in big league history.
“I could already envision it,” Woods Richardson said. “I already know it's going to go from love handle to love handle.”
He no longer needs to imagine it, because such a jersey now exists and hangs from a locker in the visiting clubhouse at Comerica Park, with his beautifully arching last name enveloping a jersey number 78. It's about to hit the big stage, too, as Woods Richardson, the organization’s No. 6 prospect, will make his Major League debut as the Twins' starting pitcher in Sunday's series finale against the Tigers... - mlb.com
