Not baseball, but a bicycle mechanic/technician guy I admired died a year or two ago. He was a big fan of the French language, and insisted derailleur wasn't actually french, but a made up english word. since he died I've tried to use his habit of spelling it derailler.
A purchsing guy I used to sell to used POs with a format of xxxxx-33. The company had insisted on a suffix to identify which person wrote which PO. He picked 33 for his to honor Larry Bird.
