I listed Dick Pole as a nickname, since few are actually named Dick

I was just thinking about Dick Pole today. If anyone is interested, there are multiple game used jerseys on Ebay right now. That's the mark of a true fan.

That name always conjured up an image of a west coast hot rod builder or a surfboard shaper for some reason.

Or maybe it is the infamous hit by Jerry Mungo in 1970 that's triggering me.

There was a minor league outfielder from 1949 to 1954 named K Chorlton. Yes, K was his given first name.
