Baseball Players Have Funny Names

Baseball has always been amusing to me. I've always thought that the concept of a man with four balls walking was a little odd. Wouldn't so many balls be an impediment to walking? I guess baseball players are just talented like that or maybe the steroids just shrunk their junk. Beyond that it also seems as if baseball not only attracts those with superior athletic juicing skills but also rather entertaining names. Some of these names are just unfortunate birthnames while some were nicknames added to inject some humor into the sport. Without further ado...a few of the most entertaining names in baseball...

The first ones for you, Pat...

Do you think that any of his teams ever had specials on "chili dogs" at their games?

What would Beavis and Butthead say about "Woody" Held playing Shortstop? Huh, huh...

Milton Bradley: Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Best pitcher name ever. Sounds like the baseball counterpart to Colt McCoy. Although the name would lead you to think that the former Tulane star is from Texas, he actually hails from New Jersey. Of course...

With a name like that he seems to have his bases covered when the games over.

Something tells me that these last two are related...

It's probably best that Stubby Clapp stopped at second base, or else there could be...

All it takes is one rusty sword.
