There is now a name in baseball stranger than Coco Crisp

[Oeditpus Rex]

And, oddly enough, it has the same initials.



Ladies and gentlemen, meet Callix Crabbe of the Sandy Eggo Madres:

1. Coco Crisp isn't a name...

it's a breakfast cereal. At least it should be. There are some great baseball names out there...but damned if I can think of any right now. I can barely remember my own.

I need to go home and knit or sleep or watch baseball or sumpin'.

2. Well, there was Eli Grba, the Vowelless Wonder

And Doug "Eye Chart" Gwoszd... or Gwozsd... either way, it's pronounced "Goosh."

Two of my favorites were pitchers Rollie Fingers and Bill Hands, and I could swear Pittsburgh had a reliever in the '60s named Knuckles.

4. Rollie Mustache!

3. When someone writes a song with his name as the title, LMK: Van Lingle Mungo

:hi:

6. The Dodgers have a kid in Double-A named

Raymond Luxury Yacht.

It's not a problem when they're at home in Jacksonville, but on the road it confuses the hell out of PA announcers who don't realize it's pronounced "Throat Warbler Mangrove."

Oh, and the concessions managers with the Giants' Triple-A club in Fresno are a husband-and-wife team, A Sniveling Little Rat-Faced Git and Dreary Fat Boring Old Git.

I wouldn't recommend eating at a game there. Lord knows what they put in the mustard.

5. And if .....

Boog Powell married Felipe Alou (or Moises Alou) he'd be Boog Alou!!!


Don't forget Yogi Berra.

:rofl:

7. LOL!

(Or Matty Alou or Jesus Alou...)

"Putz gearing up to play catch"

can't wait until he's back on the mound.

:spank:

9. How about Christopher Davis?

Not that Christopher Davis is a strange name, rather banal actually. However what is strange is that everyone called him Ben.

It was something like his mother named him Christopher but his dad named him Ben.

10. Isn't that the name of a cereal?

I could have sworn to have seen a box of cereal with the name "Coco Crisp" in the supermarket.

12. Clyde Kluttz... and Rusty Kuntz --and no, I didn't make these up
