Pokey Reese, Dick Pole and Randy Johnson for

the Male-Porn-Allstar-name-team.

KJs,


Here's a link to the lyrics to the best baseball song ever, Dave Frishberg's "Van Lingle Mungo."

Do retired players count? What about Rusty Kuntz? That's got to be the grossest name of all time.

How soon we forget Pete LaCock.

My favorite all-time baseball name is Razor Shines. Anyone know what MLB record he holds?

it's a nickname, but it fits here.

And Dickie Thon.

That song is great but my favorite is Steve Goodman's Dying Cub Fans Last Request

If you can find the recording it would be a better experience.


D.

Johnny "Ugly" Dickshot.


Baseball-reference.com has a listing for a Pussy Tebeau from 1895.

I remember Chip Glass and Fair Hooker were the starting wide recievers with the Browns in the 70's.

... but the judges were looking for "most career plate appearances without scoring a run."

Why has no one nominated Stubby Clapp?

Don't forget Harry Colon and Sam Gash.


And hockey's Ron Tugnutt.
