Favorite current player name: Placido Polanco
Favorite all-time name: Urban Shocker (Yankees pitcher in the 1920s) followed closely by 1930s star Van Lingle Mungo.
These are their real names, not nicknames (although Urban Shocker is of French ancestry and that is the Americanized pronounciation of his birth name--Urbaine Shoquer)

Stubby Clapp. His first major league at-bat was in June 2001 for the Cardinals...when they were playing the Cubs. I was actually there. He struck out and then got a standing ovation from a sold out crowd. Partly cos it was his first at-bat and because he fouled off a lot of pitches, but also because it's another example of how Cardinals fans are the best in baseball.
Clapp has disappeared since then.

How can you not like Coco Crisp!
They had some outlandish names back in the 20's & 30's. Pokey Reese, Pee Wee Reese.
My all time favorite will always be Kirby Puckett!

Tom Klawitter having a baseball player named "The Klaw" but alas he only lasted a handful of games. The best sounding I think is Cesar Tovar it just rolls off the tongue. Not related but Cesar Maniago is my favorite name for a hockey player

For strictly prurient reasons, pitcher Dick Pole of the Seattle Mariners in the late 1970s. Ouch!
