Worst player name ever for a baseball card
 

I nominate George Stainback.

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.

My favorite....

.

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.

sorry not vintage...

Think about it

Dick Such

I just cant get a pic to load up

Harry Marble, from the Zeenuts collection always makes me snicker.

Jack Glasscock

.

Did Ugly Dickshot ever have a card?

How about Stubby Clapp

At least you got the gist of the thread.

Hey, I thought Krapp worked for the gist of the thread, too!

First name Mike, last name Hunt:

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

Imagine going through life with the handle, Ten Million. Must have had a lot of fights in the schoolyard growing up.

not mine...but in the spirit of the thread, any card that had these would be a card I would not want to own!!

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

:p

The "only" autograph I own:

Attachment 262996

From the ill-fated, one season long 1998 Maryland Fall Baseball League ....

Fun, Scott :rolleyes:

:D That is funny!

lol

That, of course, is Mike de la Hoz (the translation of which may qualify for this thread)

How about Dick Pole the former pitching coach og the Cubs.

Would hate to have a Bucky Dent on one of my cards.

Or a Mark, even if it is Small.

Would be worse.

Will not numerically grade.

"Woody Held" is Just a Classic Crown of a Name!

These may not be from the most Popular...
But they're Real!!!

Mike "Hunt"
 

Ohh Yeah!

"True Story..."

While I was Station'd in San Diego,
I Had a Good Friend with this Illuminating Name!

Upon His Transfer from the Submarine Tender USS McKee...
I Had a Female Shipmate Standin Watch wit me early am!
And Get THiS... Her Last Name was Seaman
& So She Went By "Seaman Seaman" ...
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!!!)
"Seaman Seaman's" Peachy Pale White Minnesota Beauty
Was Covered like a Strawberry fir Good Long While!!!

Needless ta Say I Paid a Small Price
Fir GiViN Her the Order to Make Such an Announcement...
Well Worth the Beginning of the Day After Duty
& a NiCe Send Off to a Good Ole' Shipmate InDeeD ;)

Boob Fowler was too risqué for a real card.

A repulsive Polish Rip
 

A repulsive Polish Rip...what more could you ask for in a card?

Brian

It's an old gag, but I've heard of wise guys going up to a clueless female PA announcer at the airport or restaurant asking her to page a friend: "Looking for Mike Hunt. Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?"

Pretty much anyone with the name Dick.

Couldn't resist.

^^ that is an awesome photograph!

Wow, the intent of this thread flew over the heads of most.

Rips are always bad

I've had a card go through the wash, but never washed and burned!

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.

How about a couple of Nicks, a burn, and a mark.

Worst Name for a Pitcher
 

Has to be Grant Bal(l) Four

That is just not right :)....

I always knew Paul was a ladies man! :cool:

Football OK?

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."
