A bit of juvenile humor here. I'm a 60s-70s collector and can't help but snicker every time I sort an "Ernie McAnally" card. McAnally... Heh heh heh...
Yeah, I'm easily amused. What can I say.
What are some of your favorite odd names in sports?

By the way, what do you get when you cross a rooster with a telephone?
You get a 40 foot c@ck that wants to reach out and touch someone!

Best sports name? Nascar's own Dick Trickle!
He also had a second career that not too many people knew about. Here he is performing

Dick Pole is now the bench coach for the Cubs

A part-timer until 1945, Dickshot was Chicago's everyday left fielder that season; he batted .302, third-best in the AL, and finished fifth with 18 stolen bases

I read on the internet (so it must be true) that Plaxico is where his father work(s)(ed) for many years and liked his job that much.
OK, Shawon Dunston, formerly of the Cubs got his first name by mistake. His mother wanted to name him Shawn but mispelled it, from what I hear.
We now have another attempt at an unconventional spelling that does not work.
Shone Figgins, Nationals(?). One would think his name ends in a long "e", or just rhymes with scone. But of course his name is pronounced Shawn.
Some parents just need to be punished.
<< <i>Anyone have any names from friends in their neighborhood? >>
Went to school with a girl named Pea (pronounced Pee-ah) Green.
I once met a girl named Aquanisha. Asked her where her name came from. She said "it's African." I said "that isn't African. African is Dikembe Motumbo, Manut Bol, Mandela, and Tutu. When you were born your mother was holding a glass of water and sneezed. That's how she named you. You are the victim of a cruel joke."

Its actuall worse than Shone, its Chone Figgins on The LA Angles of Anaheim. I have no idea how "Chone" is pronounced "Shawn"
I always got a kick out of Anfernee Hardaway. I wonder if they meant to name him Anthony, then realized they messed up and were like "Screw it. Lets call him Penny."

Actually it's Chone (Shawn, Shaun, however you want to say it) Figgins of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim!
Great minds think alike.

My bad...mispelled in my haste to share the absurd.
I didn't know it was pronounced Shawn until ESPN said his name.
