Posted By: <b>Brian T.</b><p>Harry Colon (of the Green Bay "Packers" no less)<br /><br />A buddy of mine used to hold up a "Harry Colon Fan Club" sign at some of the games. Sophomoric? Yes, we were. (and still are)

Posted By: <b>SC</b><p>Is a name specific to a town...like going to school in Boston in the late 80s/90s named Bill Buckner.<br /><br />Amazing being in retail the names you see - I had a reservation for a "Ransom Call" who showed up and picked up his car - I guess his parents had a sense of humor. I had a reservation about two weeks ago for Bilbo Baggins, though apparently the flight out of the Shire was cancelled...

Posted By: <b>William Cohon</b><p>For Yiddish speakers, Putz is hilarious. But a close second would be Charlie Schmutz, who had a cup of coffee with Brooklyn and made it into the t206 set. I'm sure there were plenty of fans who thought of belly-button lint whenever they heard or read his name.

Posted By: <b>Kenneth A. Cohen</b><p>Peter Schmuck<br /><br />From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br /><br />Schmuck has been a sports columnist for the Baltimore Sun since 1990, and has been named Maryland Sportswriter of the Year four times by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. He primarily writes about baseball and is host of a sports talk show on WBAL AM 1090. Schmuck was elected president of the Baseball Writers Association of America in 2005. He once made headlines himself when, in 1980, his request for a vanity license plate bearing his last name was rejected by the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles for being "obscene and offensive to public decency."<br /><br />
