I've been bitten by the boredom bug again. What are the coolest athlete names to ever grace the front of a card?

I've always thought Don Mattingly was a cool name.

As much as I want to say Rusty Kuntz, I am going with this guy. Never heard of another Ryne...

Jack Youngblood was one of the most feared NFL hitmen of all time. His name fits him well.

You can't go wrong when you share the same name as a board game company.

I believe there was a similar thread awhile back in the sports talk forum.

My nomination for coolest name was Calvin Coolidge Julius Caesar Tuskahoma McLish.

.
My nominations for "coldest" names were David Freese and Pepe Frías.

I saw the God Shammgod reference. Factoid: his name when he showed up at Providence College was Shammgod Wells. He had it legally changed.

Actually, the other way around. Shammgod Wells was what he went by when he was young, but it wasn't his legal name. PC told him he had to register under his legal name, which was God Shammgod.

Interesting! I’ve always had it backwards because I remembered them signing a recruit named Shammgod Wells. Thanks for the clarification.

Someone make fun of this bare knuckle fighters name to his face.
In 1878 he defeated Jack Ward in 27 rounds.
