Barney Pelty for irony
You started a thread and then ended it in the first post; nobody can compete with Fury!
By design, I have a date.

Without a doubt, Mickey Mantle.
Joe Pepitone was a worthy runner up.
Pee Wee Reese
They named a nationwide youth baseball league after him.
And a peanut butter cup.
Bombo Rivera
Zoilo Versailles
Kirby Puckett
Harmon Killebrew
These are some of my favorite Twins names...
Erik
Milton Bradley.
Shooty Babbitt
This name always did it for me.

How about Mookie Betts
Earl Batty, catcher.
Goose Goslin His real first name was Leon. He got the nick name because he waved his arms when he ran back to catch a fly ball.
I think that if it’s just the actual name, it’s hard to beat the greatest switch hitter of all time who was named after his dad’s favorite baseball player, Mickey Cochrane. Hard to get more baseball than that...
MICKEY CHARLES MANTLE
