I'll have to see if I can find him cause I think I released him, but my scout found some guy out of a Latin American country whose first name was "Ding-Bong".

He's a mediocre player at best, but with a name like "Harris Harris" I had to have him on my team

Mister_G · 09-04-2016, 08:49 PM

Not a funny name, but funny coincidence. No screenshot, but in the 2020's of my universe I noticed in All-Star voting that two Addison Reeds were on the ballot, and both for the Blue Jays. That led me to believe that there was some weird duplicate going on, but no, the Jays signed Reed and had drafted another Addison Reed, with both coming out of the pen.

OOTP generated nickname is on point

Who would name their kid "Harris Harris", unless of course your name is "Jose Jose", and you are from the Dominican Republic.

Sorry I don't have a screenshot available, but the other day I got a AAA filler pitcher in a trade... Northern Ireland's favorite hurler... Gilligan Crapper.

I have longtime reliever/occasional starter Manuel Manuel in my current league. This screenshot is from several years ago, when he pitched a shutout in his first career start. It's now 2003, and Manny the Man is still going.

What if he sucks?

Wonder if he's a type-A guy...

I kept the aging and mediocre-at-best backup catcher, "Millard Dillard", on my team a little longer than I should have - just because of his name.

He hung on for several years after I released him, so I guess the computer GMs liked the name too.

Nothing stands out...until you see the hometown.
