147 Ridiculous Baseball Player Names

missed Miles Mastrobuoni

That was fun

Hmmm... I can only imagine how disappointed the presidents of the Van Lingle Mungo,
Peanuts Lowery and Frenchy Bordagaray fan clubs are going to be...

missed another pokemon (onix concepción)!

Why were there so many Dads 😭

Whats weird about milton bradley?

4:51 hey i have his baseball card

was fully expecting Mookie Betts to be the last name 😂

Richard Lovelady is missing a truly golden opportunity to go by "Dick"

Also Dazzy Vance, Germany Schaefer, Napoleon Lajoie, Ivy Olson, Ping Bodie, Rabbit Maranville, Eppa Rixey

Shoutout Rock Shoulders. Hickory Crawdads legend and a great pull.

147 Cranjis McBasketball names (baseball edition) iykyk

Little bit of trivia. The Twins traded A. J. Pierzynski to the giants for Joe Nathan, Francisco Liriano, and Boof Bosner. AJ wasn't loved in the locker room and released at the end of the year and the Twins had a big cornerstone of their pitching staff for the next 5 years. Well, Boof was ok.

What about Will Smith and Carlos Santana

Why didn’t anyone tell me 1800’s baseball players had wrestling names

2:56 I’m like 80-90% sure that it is normal for Native American names to be spelled out by two words but also I might be wrong

Pretzels Getzien

"Charlie Manlove" is really out of pocket
"Lil Stoner " is by far my favorite

"Red Cox" "Dick Burns" "Dick Green"

There could be a whole STD team

People: "Ugh kids names are so weird now I miss the olden days when everyone was just named Tom and Bill"

The olden days: 4:08

3:06 that sounds like a rappers name

Boom-Boom Beck had an unfortunate origin for his nickname -- it was said to be the sound of the bat meeting his pitch, immediately followed by the resulting line drive rattling off the Baker Bowl's metal outfield wall. He was the teammate of Hugh "Losing Pitcher" Mulcahy, and between them they were charged with 61 losses for the Phillies across 1939 and 1940.

Also, lol at Rusty Kuntz's page including a pointed reference to the correct way to pronounce his name.

okay so names you missed that I can think of off the top of my head:
Dizzy Dean
Daffy Dean (they're brothers!)
Spaceman Lee
Mordecai "Three-Finger" Brown (teammate to Orval Overall who you did mention)
Coco Crisp
Kosuke Fukudome (thankfully joined the Cubs after Harry Caray died)
Rabbit Maranville
Satchel Paige

Also I feel the list is a bit too heavy with Dicks. There's enough Dicks in MLB history that just having the name Dick isn't enough to be funny. Dick Pole however is definitely funny

1:09 doesn't seem like he was actually good enough

You left out the guy who had a song named after him: Van Lingle Mungo.

Surprised Rougned Odor didn't make the list.

Tony Suck - batting average = .151

I'm sorry. I will not stand for the Rollie Fingers erasure

I also add Luis Pujols, Albert's uncle, who was a catcher for Houston. Pete LaCock was the son of the late game show host Peter Marshall and nephew of actress Joanne Dru, whose last names were obviously also LaCock since they were brother and sister.

Edit: Steamboat Williams and "Mickey Mouse" Melton should've been teammates, for obvious reasons.

L.J. Hoes wore number 0 in the 2014-15 seasons.

Two things: Catfish Hunter is one of my favorite Immaculate Grid answers; the name Pete LaCock never doesn’t get at least a giggle out of me

This is hilarious. Even more interesting are the small towns where some of them were born - Love, MS? Really?

Whammy Douglas. No Neck Williams. Clyde Klutz.

When I was a little kid our family referred to the male anatomy as a “Bucky”. So the Yankee shortstop Bucky Dent was particularly hilarious to us.

Clearly an amateur move not putting Manlove and Lovelady back to back.

I have a google doc of 522 insane MLB player names and this still had some I’d never seen. Some of my favorites that aren’t in here (or I didn’t notice) are Big Train Jackson, Big Boy Davis, Home Run Baker, Skin Down Robinson, Steel Arm Johnny Taylor (brother of Candy Jim Taylor), Fast Ball Anderson, Shorty Des Jardien, Squiz Pillion, Pop-boy Smith, Bad News Hall, Choo-Choo Coleman, Drungo Hazewood, Snake Deal, Soup Campbell, and George Washington.

Dick Pole was going to be my porn name. Either that or Magic Johnson.

The first two guys debuted the same day

Rusty kuntz is my all time favorite

‘75 Red Sox have to be one of the best teams of all time I mean just think you’ve got Dick Drago and Dick Pole

Algorithm about to make this video blow up.

I'm not a big fan of Louis Sockalexis, for some reason...

edit: oh god it shows my username and not my actual name (Alexis) here so I just look racist

James McJames had some parents who were looking forward to having a son they could name something funny.

Was waiting for Oil Can Boyd, was not disappointed. 😊

This is a great list. Although not an odd sounding name, I find it funny that there was a Second Baseman called Mike Tyson. There’s also the d’Arnaud brothers, Tyler Pastornicky, Marc ‘Scrabble’ Rzepczynski, and one of my personal favorites: Stuffy McInnis.

Don't forget 1910 Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Barney Slaughter

2:34 my hero Twink Twining
