Well I couldn't see one yet!!

And I just had to share this one from my test league. 42 year old shortstop (

), named Marvin Shave.

His nickname?

Mustache.

Classic

Loving the new game too.

Rofl!

I must say, in one of the jillion test leagues, at one point I had an Australian catcher win the MVP. His name?

Marc Duffy

Same spelling an' everything. Hmmm...

Greg "Balls" Colon.

Change his name to Richard, and you pretty much have the full monty.

That took me entirely too long to "get," and now I kind wish I hadn't.

I need a vacation.

I had a nice chuckle when I saw this headline in my league.

"Hung Wang Nixed as Manager by Royales"

First test league I attempted, right after the inaugural draft I looked at the top prospects. The best hitting prospect is named Suk Hwang. But that's not good enough, is it? Nope...somehow he acquired the nickname "Truck Stop".
