Posted By: <b>Lance</b><p>Fun topic:<br /><br />What baseball name would you hate to have had either in it's time or now. I have been going through some boxes of cards and without fail, Dick Sisler cracks me up every time! I can't believe his parents liked him at all!!!

It was tough growing up with a name like.....
Posted By: <b>Ken McMillan</b><p>when I used to practice in N.W. Indiana, I had 2 clients with great names. One was Candy Hymen who had a cocker spaniel named " Buster". Also a lady named Arlita Dickover. Now those would be names that are hard to live with. Also had a client named Louis Head married to Polly and they had a son named Richard. Would not have wanted to be the son. These are actual names which I did not make up.<br /><br />Kmac

Posted By: <b>Michael Steele</b><p>Okay, I was just reading this thread and was not going to post but then I saw Ken's post and I have to say that if "Arlita" was actually "Anita" for the first name, things would have have been a little worse for her. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> <br /><br />And the great manager of the KC Royals and Yankee player comes to mind: Dick Howser

I've never met one yet."

It was tough growing up with a name like.....
Posted By: <b>S Gross</b><p>True .........<br /><br />Went to college with a guy named Dick Kuntz (great guy, guess had to be).<br /><br />Worked with a guy named Peter Hurtz ..............<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Baseball: 2000 Memphis Redbird star SS, and played a few games with Cards: "Stubby" Clapp (real name Richard, i.e. "Dick" Clapp).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />...... and, believe it not, it's not easy with a last name Gross. Rembember (long ago) in Kendergarten, some kid coughed milk out his nose, and someone said: "UUUGGGG Gross !!!!!!!!!!" All the kids looked at me and laughed. Me, a five year old, said to myself: "Man, that's gonna' get old real quick."

Posted By: <b>howard</b><p>There was a linebacker for eastern Illinois recently (maybe still on the team) named Lucius Pusey who was so tired of the accidental (and intentional, I'm sure) mispronunciations that he changed his last name.<br /><br />I was sending info to people who had given me their business cards at a book show a few years ago and came across one for "Richard Rash" and another for "Richard Hertz". I sent out the info but I still think someone was messin' w/me.

I had a reservation about two weeks ago for Bilbo Baggins, though apparently the flight out of the Shire was cancelled...

It was tough growing up with a name like.....
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 />
