Athletes whose name matches sport they play.

Heres one that we may have some fun with. Match a coincidental name with their respective sport. Does not have to be exact. I.E.-Jeff fEAGLES played for the EAGLES, Ken SINGLEton played baseball (single,hits), Duffy Waldorf plays golf(DUFFER). Suppose could include Jason DUFFner if we stretch the requirements. I've a few more once I can locate my list. Have fun.
