Hank Aaron is of course Henry Aaron on a couple of issues.
Roberto Clemente was sometimes Roberto more often Bob. Dick Allen also was Richie Allen, and at least two years he was Rich Allen. That's amazing, THREE names. Who else?

Mo is a great guy. Met him at a company picnic we had for lunch one day when he just happened to be coming in to meet one of my former colleague's at a firm I used to work at. For a short time we were doing his accounting and tax work for his company, Mo Vaughn Trucking, out of Solon, Ohio I believe.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned SF Giants shortstop, the late Jose Uribe, who played under the name Jose Gonzalez at the beginning of his career (due to variations in Spanish nomenclature).
The first time he came up to bat against the Mets, after announcing his name change, Mets announcer Tim McCarver said, "he's literally the player to be named later." |
