I don't post much, if at all, on the baseball forum, but I felt this was noteworthy:
Transaction of the Week: Noticed this in the paper the other day, under baseball transactions in something called the Golden Baseball League: CALGARY VIPERS -- Agreed to terms with OF Jorge Poo Tang.
Are there any other great names for baseball players...they always seem to have good ones. |

I like Robert Fick. Fick is the F-Word translated to German
I am also wondering where Rudy Gay is on that list.

In the category of just regular great names for baseball players (no innuendo), as of 1990, last discussion/poll I've seen, the best pure baseball name is:
Bombo Rivera

I taught a kid who spelled his name: Phuk
A sweet kid, but man I felt bad for him. I believe he was from Vietnam, but had recently moved to the USA.

As he strolls to the plate, the announcer says, "Now batting for the Atlanta Braves, No. 63, Wonderful Monds." No, the announcer is not commenting on the batter's skill. He's talking about Wonderful Terrific Monds III. "The reaction I get all the time is, `That's not really your name, is it?' " Monds said during a break at spring training in West Palm Beach, Fla. The genesis of Monds's unique name goes back to a great-grandfather who had longed for a son and grew increasingly exasperated after 11 daughters. Finally, Monds's great-grandmother delivered a boy, much to the relief of her husband. "He was very enthused, very happy," Monds says. "He said, `Oh, this is wonderful! ...

I taught a kid who spelled his name: Phuk
In 1975 when vietnam fell our family took in a Vietnamese student who was a freshman in HS at the time. His family thought he needed the emersion in english in order to catch up to other students. He lived with us for his first year. I suppose it worked as he graduated from UCLA in 1983. His little brother (elementary age at the time) was named Fuk.....pronounced Fook. Poor little kid.....we met up with the family some years later and they had not changed the name. I dont know how he could handle it.
