Great Baseball Names

Ten Million on a Monarch Corona reprint. "Ten Million" - seriously?!?

Baseball history has been littered with players with great names! Some are great because announcers have fun almost singing their names by lengthening every syllable, like John Boccabella, Nomar Garciaparra, and Buddy Biancalana. Others stand out because of familiarity with certain products like board games and cereals. Others are just plain imaginative. This blog contains some of my favorites.

2011 Topps Milton Bradley

2014 Topps Coco Crisp
 Coco's card also belongs in a wildest hair style or sunglasses collection!

1991 Classic Best Rich Batchelor. A pick-up line gift!

1982 Topps Shooty Babitt

1986 Topps
 Razor Shine's name reminds me of Chip Glass, a former tight end with the Cleveland Browns.

1995 Upper Deck - Wonderful Terrific Monds! We have a winner!

2009 Chris Kroski

1991 The Sporting News Conlon Collection. He would fit right in at Wrigley Field - LOL!

2003 Choice. Say his name three times  - fast!
Like I noted above, this blog contains some of my favorite baseball names. Feel free to list some of yours in the comments section!

Peace!

  1. Sweet collection! Seeing that Wonderful Terrific Monds reminded me of two more awesome names that were in Upper Deck Minors products: 1992 Upper Deck Minors #199 Pork Chop Pough and 1994 Upper Deck Minors #29 Motor-Boat Jones.

    Discovered these in some packs I found at the flea market a few years ago. If you're bored...

  2. Legendary Yankees PA announcer Bob Sheppard said his favorite name to say was Jose Valdevielso.
