also Endy and Enzo

Answer 13

If you go way back in baseball history, you find some interesting names such as Honus Wagner. You ever meet anyone named Honus?

Answer 14

Yadier

Answer 15

How bout toss in Lastings Milledge in there.  Ha, his name is Lastings. wow.

I wish i had that name.  :(

Answer 16

Coco is a nickname, so was Dizzy.

Personally, I think Yuniesky is the weirdest first name in baseball right now, with honorable mentions to Nomar, Edinson and Dwayner. And one from the 80s: Larvell

All-time favourite baseball name: Rusty k***z.

Answer 17

Coco for sure..

Answer 18

Good ones.  Add Maglio and Jacoby to the list

Answer 19

I like Coco Crisp and Milton Bradley. Ones named after a cereal and the other after a board game company.

Answer 20

Derryl Strawberry. I've always thought it'd be funny to get his jersey, to see that "STRAWBERRY" in blue and orange on that Mets Jersey.

Answer 21

Coco's real first name is Covelli.  His grandmother used to call him Coco and the nickname stuck.  There are a lot of unique names out there but, Joba is the first person with that name I have ever heard of.

Answer 22

Dizzy. there was a pitcher who was named Dizzy Trout. greatest name in all of baseball history.

Answer 23

Catfish Hunter

Answer 24

He will probably get the call from the minors for another cup of coffee with the Royals in MLB after September 1st. He has previous MLB experience: Gookie Dawkins.

There was another guy in the St. Louis system for years. He spent time with the MLB Cards and is now a hitting coach in the Astros' system at low Class A Lexington. He just competed on the roster of Team Canada in the Olympics.  With his first and last name he had to become a ball player or a used car dealer: Stubby Clapp.

Answer 25

denard

Answer 26

Asdrubel Cabrera, the second baseman for the Indians.  Possibly  Boof Bonser, Twins pitcher.
