Best Names of All Time?

I didn't want to hijack the thread this was mentioned in so I figured I would start my own.
Shooty Babbitt is a good name, I will admit, however, my GOAT names come out of the 73 Topps Football Set with none other than Happy Feller and Fair Hooker.
To this day I still see those cards and think the Topps gods (Sy & Company) were messing with our minds.

Then after you've had your Bruschi, Beer and Sam Adams, you can chase it all down with Jack Daniels:
It's interesting that all four of these guys played in Boston.
Steve
Yes! These are all great - had never heard of a guy named Chubby Cox before!

For some reason I am having trouble finding the picture of these former linemates sitting on the bench w/ Semin sitting on the other side of Brooks, but it is a classic trio:
Fennis, not Fembis.
Your post inspired me to look up whatever happened to Dembo. Turns out he had a nice career playing overseas before retiring and eventually ended up killing a burglar in his home:

Thanks for the correction. I was too lazy to look it up before typing it. Interesting read. His name has stuck with me since watching college ball in the 80's.

I always laugh at the pictures where the last names of players standing next to each other "say" things because of the such random chance. In the same vein, cards #8 and #9 in 1973 Topps Baseball are Tom Hall and Johnny Oates, and Hall & Oats would have their first success in that year. I just noticed this looking at my partial set in its binder last week. Too funny.
I actively collect Kirby Puckett. I have collections of Michael Jordan, Emmitt Smith, Roberto Clemente, Dwight Gooden, Tom Seaver, Errict Rhett and Evan Longoria.
i can only imagine trying to recover a fumble with this guy in the pile

I always thought this guy was 50 years before his time. If he played today, he could make a mint as a spokesman for Viagra:

ohhhhhh .. myyyyyy..... gosh.. That 1969 Topps Football DS card is it. If I spelled it out by itself, I would be banned from this place. Especially if I actually called someone here that.
I vote it as the WINNER here.

Decided to check what others had posted on this topic before, and there are some funny names out there that haven't been put up here yet:

Well why do that and ruin the fun here for everyone ?
A buddy of mine made up a mythical story about a baseball team which featured an ambidextrous pitcher named Sonny Overcast. He had no stats.
This thread is just great...I work with the public and just recently delt with a "Peter Tugger"...glad to see some have a sense of humor here!
And if you could just add a "G" to the end of his last name
