    The Ms. and I went out to dinner the other night and our server's first name was Nolan. He said his parents named him after Nolan Ryan. I said that's cool, but asked him if he knew that Nolan was his middle name. He said no and that I was joking. I said I wasn't joking and his name is Lynn Nolan Ryan Jr. I think I bummed him out.

    P.S. Henry Louis Gehrig, George Kenneth Griffey Jr. (and Sr.) and George Thomas Seaver probably would have told me to keep my mouth shut.

    I open this thread thinking it's "name on logo" not "two first names". I have three new posts to look at and I start from the bottom.

    @SDSportsFan starts my day off strong! Billy Joe! Fullback! Buffalo! I don't remember the guy, but I can infer that he played for the Bills ....very nice...... Well done SDSF!

    I scroll up. @ScoobyDoo2 has brought me Ricky Bobby. I lament the fact that I've never seen this oft-referenced movie, and assume that ol' Ricky drove for 'Rickety Racing' or some such team. Or maybe it's just a bad example. There's an LOL , but I'm on mobile so I don't know who thought it was funny.

    Then I get to the creme de la creme, a four image shot of Ray Allen in his many uniforms. I spend at least fifteen seconds on it before finding myself in a funny conundrum. Not that I suddenly realized I was in the "two first names" thread, but rather I'm scratching my head thinking " I know @galaxy27 is a very bright man, how should I approach letting him know he might have missed the mark (but got an A for effort with the pics)?"

    Then the sad reality dawns on me.

    And I write this...
