Best baseball player name, EVER!

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.

Beats the hell out of Heine Manush or "Three Finger" Mordecai Brown.


My favorite all time name is Al Kaline, as well as my favorite battery.
 
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!

He can't have the best baseball name ever if die hard baseball people are the only ones that can pronounce his name. :biggrin:
