To state the obvious, Lew Alcindor --> Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. I think a few other NBA players have adopted Islamic names, right? There was a guy in the early '90s if I recall.

woot! I get to add one

Ellie / Elrod Hendricks

Elrod is a much cooler baseball name. IMHO

He's Ed Mathews on his Topps issues but the 53 Bowman I have lists him as Eddie Mathews.

On at least one fabulous card, they just call him Rocket.

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."

Thats also how the entire Rojas family became the Alous. At least until the recently fired Mets manager reclaimed it.

Chris Jackson/Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf. Another Basketball is Keith Wilkes/Jamaal Wilkes. A couple of Football, Bobby Moore/Ahmad Rashad, Sharmon Shah/Karim Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar later sued him and he changed it to Abdul-Karim al-Jabbar.

The 'incorrect' Chad Ochocinco. (But I maintain that it does say 8 and 5, so it's fine.)

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Forget about different names, Runnels had a card with a different picture (teammate Don Johnson).

I have a few uncut sheets of '78 Topps on the walls of my home office. My daughter and her college friends were in there one night playing pool, glanced at one of the sheets, and saw Dick Pole's card...'nuff said? Poor guy.

I can't find any cards, but there was a minor leaguer who signed his name "Jose A. Pujols". When he got to the big leagues he started signing A. Pujols. He goes by Albert now.

I used to work with a guy named Richard Head. I wonder what his parents were thinking.

Walt Hazzard became Mahdi Abdul Rahman.
And of course, in boxing, I don't even need to say it.

Al Jackson/Alvin Jackson (1966 Topps). Kudos to the poster of Elrod Hendricks/Ellie Hendricks, I had that one in my head yesterday morning and then forgot it.
