Same-Name game....BaseBall & Rock-n-Roll....OK, let's play

[tedzan]

I will start this game with 2 same-name (modern & vintage) examples........


Fernando Valenzuela and Ritchie Valens (Valenzuela)

And, check out this coincidence...... Ritchie grew up in the San Fernando Valley area, California.

You all know Ritchie's greatest hits...... "La Bamba", "Donna", "Come On, Let's Go"

"The Day the Music Died"....Feb. 3, 1959....Ritchie, J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, Buddy Holly,
and the young pilot died in a plane crash on a wintry night in Iowa. It was very sad, very sad.









Tom Jones (MLB career 1902-1910)


Welsh singer Tom Jones of "It's Not Unusual" fame & many more songs (1960's to the present)


Hey guys, let's see how far we can take this....so, show and/or tell us of your BB / Rock-n-Roll
Same-Name combos.

Simply match up the last names (1st names may or may not apply).
