Worst player name ever for a baseball card
|
I don't have an image, but it would have to be the E99 Krapp for me.

People are often shocked to hear the nicknames given out in the old days: Dummy for the deaf, Rube for country folk, Nig, Chief for Indians, etc.

Of course, nothing beats NASCAR driver Dick Trickle. He having to be aware of it, I figure Dick either had a Budweiser sense of humor or was a tough guy waiting for someone to dare joke about it to his face.

If Rip Torn had been a baseball player and had a card, I imagine it would never grade Gem Mint.

Rusty Kuntz has to be the winner. But I always found this to be an odd name especially when categorizing by last name.

At About 0700 I Had Her Announce Petty Officer "Mike Hunt Departing" (She was Completely Oblivious to what she was doing!) And Of Course that morning at Chow She held a Standing Ovation on the Mess Decks fir a Good Long time! The Laughter Continued All THaT DaY! Once She was Told of Her Mornings Entertaining 1MC Announcement (The 1MC is the Ship~wide Communication System So the Entire Crew of about 1200 was Made Aware of it's Contents!!!)

Wow, the intent of this thread flew over the heads of most.
Rips are always bad http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/tggAAO...~mO/s-l800.jpg I've had a card go through the wash, but never washed and burned! http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/xpYAAO...guQ/s-l800.jpg |
I think this gentleman's first name is pronounced cray-ah-said in his native Dominican Republic but it's still apt, as it appeals to people who get the spirit of the thread and to those who simply favor names based on crotch appeal.

I nominate pitcher Bob Owchinko of the Cleveland Indians. As i don't speak Japanese, it's my understanding his name "Owchinko" translates to "little penis." For broadcasts of Indians games in Japan, announcers referred to him as "Bob Smith."

Although I can't come close to beating Denny's "Seaman Seaman" story :p, here's a few personal ones:
A guy on one of my old NJ bowling teams: Peter Hurts My RA of my college freshman dorm: Dick Kuntz BTW, "Gross" (Austrian) isn't the easiest name to have. I remember in Kindergarten, we were all sitting around our little table having milk and cookies. One kid laughed, and shot milk out his nose. All the other kids yelled "GROSS !!!," and then in unison pointed at me and laughed........ I remember as a 5 year old kid saying to myself: Man, that's going to get old real fast. :rolleyes: |
