It's all in the name
 

I can think of a few cards with cool/funny names, but I've seen a couple of new ones lately that made me laugh....thought it would be a fun thread. Show em if you got em.

Then there is Porkchops Whitehead and Puddinhead Jones (note neatly placed pinhole in mouth :()...

Van Lingle Mungo
 

My favorite name......and, he even has a very catchy BB song written after his name.

Does it have to be vintage?
 

If not, what about Dick Pole?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Pole

In baseball my two favorites have to be; "Slim" Love (Hollywood Stars), and "Snag" Wood (Cle Elum Athletics)

However, in sports, my fav's got to be NASCAR great Dick Trickle. Ironically sponsored by Miller High Life (1989 Rookie of the Year)

There is always the infamous Rusty Kuntz

There was a basketball player in the Late 80's early 90's named Uwe Blab.

oo-way blob.

That was lots of fun for a grade-school kid.

As my mama told me...
 

I remember my mom correcting my pronunciation of his name when I was ten and reading the players names on cards... "it's rus-TEE KOONZ."

Whatever, mom.

The '41 Play Ball set has a bunch. I enjoy "Stormy Weatherly"

1916 fun names
 

I always thought the 1916 Zeenut set had a bunch of fun names:

Beer of Oakland
Lush of Portland
'Bunny' Brief of Salt Lake
Nutt of Salt Lake
Hogg of Los Angeles
and of course Gay of San Francisco

Brian (not a funny name)

You just can't make this stuff up.

Neither vintage nor baseball...but what the hell were his parents thinking?

Dick Felt might be my new favorite...Anyways, a few of my faves are Wonderful Terrific Monds III, "Ugly" Dickshot, Heinie Berger, and Dick Brown... and of course I'll have to agree with the previously mentioned Rusty Kuntz. I still have one of his cards in with some of my best stuff..

What's in a name ?
 

Charles- This one is for you...

How do we forget hockey goaltender, Ron Tugnutt.

Not sure of the first name:

Lee

Not a new one but -- too much Ron Tugnutt or Dick Felt and you may end up as: (no matter how you spell it)

Ping Bodie is one of my favorites, he is in the lower left below:

And of course in baseball there's Dick Such.

My favorite football name . . . Fair Hooker.
