Denton True (“Cy”) Young
Grover Cleveland Alexander (easy one)

My daughter's roommate, her freshman year at UCLA, was the first cousin once removed from Xu Xin, one of the top table tennis players in the world.
Understand that many blue chip college athletes are paired with roommates that have fast cars, pocks full of cash and many other amenities. Most are generous.
Fury Gene Tenace; not a great middle name, but an awesome first name.
Had he used Fury instead of Gene he might have picked up another 20 points of batting average.
Good to see you posting, DA.
Clell Lavern Hobson, Jr. aka "Butch"
Of all the memorable ones, I remember actually having to look up how to pronounce this one:
Patrick Aloysius Ewing, Sr.
