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."

One I forgot and then re-remembered, Freddie Patek/Fred Patek.

Don't think it's been mentioned, but Denny and Dennis Martinez? Or how about Leo/Chico Cardenas?
How about Frank Thomas/Anonymous? Sorry - it's still early and I'm a bit punchy from lack of coffee.... Last edited by deweyinthehall; 12-10-2021 at 06:05 AM. Reason: .

If not mentioned, Rich Gossage became Goose. Did any Jim Hunter cards actually say Catfish on front?
