Celebrating the "Baseball Name"
In a very special episode, Gordon (The Athlete Archives) joined us to talk about a shared love: the baseball name. We never did define the term, but the three of us certainly knew some good ones, famous and obscure. To keep things interesting, we each threw in a fake name and player, to see if the other guys could spot it. Our record at uncovering fraud was mixed; hopefully yours will be better. Either way, we brought some actual immortal monikers back for your consideration.
We cover about 20 of the 26,000-some professional baseball names on this episode, so this may be Volume 1 of a series. We had a blast. If you did, too, leave a comment and include your favorite baseball name.
Come back any time, Gordon!
P.S. Be sure to check out Gordon’s fantastic work on his YouTube channel. There’s something in The Athlete Archives for everyone.
