Hmm... maybe from a wet shaver's (so I guess this would include me) point of view it's the best. But from a purely baseball perspective, Clete Thomas of the Detroit Tigers has a pretty fitting name, and it's not even a nickname!

Yup. He used to play AA ball with the Indianapolis Indians, back when they were a farm club for the Expos. I was 8-10, and our little league teams used to go to games every season. He was their best hitter and most well-known player for an awfully long time by minor league standards.

I suppose Sal "The Barber" Maglie should get a mention as well.

Yaz
Gotta go with the Yaz. Carl Yastrzemski.
The last person to win a triple crown (1967).
I had my picture taken with him at Met Stadium (Bloomington, MN). The next year, I had the picture sent into the clubhouse and he signed it.
Saw him play at both Fenway Park and Met Stadium.
What a guy!MK-ULTRA

Definitely the most ironic name, in that he rarely sat on a bench! Originally Posted by pal

He can't have the best baseball name ever if die hard baseball people are the only ones that can pronounce his name. Originally Posted by mk-ultra

Personally, I think "Bill Buckner" and "Bucky Dent" are two of the best as well.
