He'd have been bad for morale in the shower...

This was a lot funnier until I posted it.

I'm not sure what this means, but it has to be some kind of sign...

Worse yet, if you do read it, you'll begin to sound like as a pretentious ass.

Cedric Raper 3.0 Prospect, Orioles

In the ATHL we've got a player named Man Kummer. Naturally since I control the San Francisco franchise he's been a tempting acquisition, but since he's a 40HR guy no luck yet...

Kane182 · 05-09-2005, 11:39 PM

Not really a funny one, but I just started a fictional 36 team league and I have a guy by the name of Leon Leon in the league. What are the chances of that?

Hellion9 · 05-12-2005, 12:36 PM

So I meant to put one here earlier and then forgot to get around to it.

Just had one of my all-time favorites retire:

Manuel "Manny (yes I gave him the nickname)" Dinger

He was a great SS for my club and a lifetime .294 batter over 13 ML seasons.

How many dingers did Manny Dinger total in his career? 42.

Since OOTP2 I've been playing and I've never seen a position player hit so few for his career. I use 1-10 ratings but I'll wager poor Manny was actually a 0.

Good clutch hitter, though.

Hellion9 · 05-12-2005, 05:57 PM

And a new treat - a third baseman on the Charlotte team (hadn't really noticed him before)

Robert "Bob" Boring

Hopefully he'll be a career .260 hitter averaging 60 RBI and 15 HRs playing in most (but not all) of their games and never become a free-agent, not be traded.

Funny how this thread had made me notice the players' names again.

Bonedwarf · 05-24-2005, 04:02 AM

Courtesy of the great util being made in the Anderson Utilities thread, I've discovered a gem of a name. Definitely the funniest I've found in my league.

Pooh Furey

Awesome. Just awesome

JDOldSchool · 05-24-2005, 03:25 PM

I discovered last night that I have a Bruce Dickinson in my league. That's cool, even though he's not a great player.

Sounds like the morning after a late night of beer and spicy Mexican food...

Erasmo Albino, a 27 year old 2.5 star 1B/OF. I tried but failed to pick him up off waivers.

dignan · 05-24-2005, 05:16 PM

Theres a Tim Bunting in my league. He has one of the best carrer averages, but is 1 for sac and only 2 for bunt hitting. I was very disapointed in him.

SDtwin · 05-24-2005, 07:35 PM

Sakuichirou Matsu

try saying that 3 times fast

oh yeah and Carlos Lasagabaster

looks like a combination of lasagna and lobster

It is a rather splendid name isn't it

I want to know what the hell someone was thinking including the name Pooh!
