Funny Player Names

JTWood · 07-11-2006, 12:46 PM

I'm new here, but I'm sure this sort of thing has been posted before. I've just not seen it lately. Anyways, I'm doing an inaugural draft last night, and I ended up drafting a catcher named Paddy Lock. I haven't edited any of the name files. That's au natural.

You guys ever run into any funny names with the normal name file?

I just traded Turner Turner to the Braves.

I went to school with (no joke here) a Jackson Jackson

I just recently finished an inaugural draft and had a pitching prospect named Bobby Feller (I had to think that's Bob's grandson?) and a young prospect named Todd Crapper! It made me laugh for sure. One more thing that makes this game so fun.

Oh, and I forgot... a pitcher was named Phil Winner. Of course, I had to take him, too... who doesn't want a winner on their team. "Just win, baby!"

In my 6.51 league I had a guy finish with 989 career HR's and his nickname was "Biscuit." It made me smile ...

BigMember · 07-11-2006, 02:00 PM

I had a guy named "Iam Nobody."

Nivens "Quack" O'Mulvaney is still my champ. He's all in the dynasty I'm doing and stuff.

The Wolf · 07-11-2006, 08:40 PM

I got a pitcher named Homer Tidy.

Not a player name but...

If you have the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in your standings...it gets cut off to Los Angeles Angels of Anal.

Your player nicknamed "Biscuit" reminded me of William "The Refrigerator" Perry, a lineman for the Chicago Bears back in the mid-80's. He was also nicknamed "Biscuit"...because he was just a biscuit away from 300 pounds.

Now that's a good one.

I don't know what the Bears listed him at, but trust me, he was way over 300 pounds!

I'm pretty sure it was 350 at a training camp weigh-in.

Michizane Harris

Some great names here, I'm laughing out loud!

Simmo13 · 07-12-2006, 09:51 AM

I've just traded for Hobart McArt. I don't care whether he can play or not!!

echopapa · 07-12-2006, 11:25 AM

I've had actor Bruce Campbell and former Mexican president Porfirio Diaz show up in my leagues. Not to mention Lefty McIlhenny (bats right, throws right - maybe he got the nickname because he's a socialist?)

Zeyes · 07-12-2006, 12:52 PM

Not really laugh-out-loud funny, but in one of my test leagues I stumbled across one Mark Duff.

Close enough for government work.

PLEASE don't "fix" this! (With the exception of "Br".) I love the quirky names! They give the game more character!
