Thursday Thought: Ever notice how many legends have a one-of-a-kind surname?
Was just poking around on Baseball Reference when I realized how many all-time greats have a surname not shared with any other major leaguer…ever.
Too many to chalk up to coincidence. Is having a unique last name the secret sauce?
Ruth
Gehrig
Speaker
Hornsby
Foxx
Musial
Spahn
Koufax
Marichal
Seaver
on and on…
Just an interesting observation.
