Bud Must Go · 01-07-2004, 08:57 AM

I love Baldo Abad...that's got to be one of the best ever! Imagine his endorsement opportunties.

r1niceboy · 01-08-2004, 12:41 AM

Different sport, but I loved the name of the South African golfer Sewgolum Sewsunker!!!

That and the Scottish soccer player Barney Battles.

Johnny Slick · 01-08-2004, 10:38 AM

The greatest name of all time, by FAR:

Rusty Kuntz

Bud Must Go · 01-08-2004, 11:06 AM

I just faced a pitcher in Arizona's minor league system with the name Sal Gasaway...another custom made endorsement opportunity waiting to happen.

Bud Must Go · 01-08-2004, 11:51 AM

I have a new favorite...just faced another pitcher named J.J. Putz. Oh, think of the headlines!

r1niceboy · 01-08-2004, 11:24 PM

All real sportsmen and women...

Francisco McIntyre

Wanderley Luxemburgo

Brad Sadd

Ishmael Jenkins

Candy Glanz

Colin Vader

Candy Glanz ??? I think I saw her in a movie once at a bachelor party.

BMW · 01-09-2004, 12:03 PM

Amazing thing Bud, is that J.J. Putz isn't a fictional player.

I have to say, Wanderley Luxemburgo is pretty high on my list.

rasnell · 01-09-2004, 05:07 PM

Hopefully Nascar's Dick Trickle will never be endorsed by the National Urology Foundation.

BMW · 01-09-2004, 05:57 PM

Or perhaps pitching coach Dick Pole.

Bubbles Gum

Mr. Chaos · 01-16-2004, 09:03 PM

For a few years I had a teammate named Wayne "Amazing" Metts.

Splitter24 · 01-16-2004, 09:49 PM

There's a pitcher in my OOTP game named Dong Dennie. I have a guy in my minor leagues named Noble Dark as if he was some sort of comic book hero. Not to mention a starting pitcher for Anaheim named Rob Balls.

actual name of a doctor in Humboldt County (actually been in his office) who made Dave Letterman's top 10 list

Richard Head

people i went to school with who had been to the hospital said they page him "Dr. Dick Head" over the intercom

not related to baseball at all but kinda funny

SSG Troyer · 02-04-2004, 02:28 PM

No one's mentioned them, and everybody's got at least one in their league ... so I thought I'd throw a shout out to all the Adam Adams', Steve Stevens', William Williams', and Michael Michaels' out there.

Boozie1580 · 02-04-2004, 05:59 PM

I played baseball with a real person named Johnny Johnson.

Dandriel · 02-04-2004, 07:58 PM

Since this topic's now gone to include real life funny names, I went to high school with 2 white guys....named "Chuck Berry" and "Michael Jackson".

I also attended school with another kid, named "Charlie Brown", and another guy named "Jody Foster"

jokerswild · 02-05-2004, 04:27 AM

kind of off the subject how do you get the real names into ITP? I have tried downloading Lahman and it doesn't seem to take in ITP, or maybe I am mistaken.
