Hey there, "77," in your eagerness to post, couldn't you have just taken aminute out to look up Car Yastrzemski's name?

If it's worth starting a thread, it might be worth a wee bit of effort.

Here are some great baseball names, the first few because they are pretty imposing, then get distilled to something better suited to a scorecard:

1. Christian Frederick Albert John Henry David Betzel, who played under the name "bruno" Betzel;

2. Calvin Coolidge Julius Caesar Tuskahoma Mclish, who appeared on the baseballcards as Cal McLish, or "Buster;"

3. William Hayward Wilson, aka "Mookie" Wilson;

4. Lewis Dennison Hamlin, who pitched as Luke "Hot Potato" Hamlin ....

Then, there are guys whose names just sound like they should be baseball players:

5. Grady Hatton

6. Jimmy Bloodworth

7. "Stubby" Overmire

8. Jeff Heath

"Sorry but whats your problem don't have to be so nasty"

Not being nasty at all. In a brief period, you started enough new threads to fill an entire page on the board. I civilly asked a question as to why you couldn't have slowed down the pace for a few seconds to check the name of a HoF player so his name would be recognizable. You're welcome: YASTRZEMSKI.

A few more good baseball names:

"Poosh 'em up" Tony Lazzeri

Wayne Terwiliger

"Puttsy" Caballeo

"Sibby" Sisti [Sebastian]

As soon as I saw the thread title, I was going to jump in with Urban Shocker, but someone beat me to it.

He was on the '27 Yankees. Might have been around for 1928, but certainly not 1948

There are some great ones out there. Hopefully I'm not stealing someone's thunder, but here are a couple of favorites.

Slim Sallee
Ed Figueroa
Nap Lajoie
Bump Wills (of the infamous Blue Jays error card)
