One of my favs is late 60's Pittsburgh QB Dick Shiner.
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
I'm not a fan of Brazil nor of Italian Serie A, but Kaka is awesome. I don't think the name has any scatological referent in Portuguese. His real name is Ricardo but he picked up the nickname because his little brother wasn't able to pronounce his real name.
I run an awards business and I was doing an appreciation plaque for a coach from one of the local youth teams and actually thought someone was trying to pull a joke and had to call the person after they sent me the coach's names list.
Emerson Dickman 1936 - 1941 Johnny Dickshot 1936 - 1945
I collect Seattle Pilots autographs, 1969 Topps autographs, Signed Mickey Mantle Home Run History cards and have a JC Martin collection (he was my college Baseball coach) Doug
I admit that he is very obscure and that he most definitely never appeared on a card but how about this name from the 1872 Brooklyn Eckfords of the National Association , Dick Hunt !!!
Another oldie but goody would be Jim C**kman of the 1905 New York Highlanders.
This may be the topper....former hockey player..Chicago Black hawks (1946-47) plus 13 years in minors. Harry Dick. You can look it up. Also have a photo of him from 1951-52 Buffalo Bisons. Would post photo but scanner crapped out.
