    We had a catcher with the last name of Cornstubble and cut him?

    This has to be some conspiracy by the Whit Merrifield camp to ensure that he has the best name in the organization. Although, I would think that the Bubba Starling people would have something to say about that.

    I'm waiting for my wave of talent to arrive.

    Robbie Penny is a decent name too.

    The minor league names have just gone down hill since we released Rowdy Hardy.

    They remond me of video game generated names.

    I’m playing a dynasty on NCAA2012 Football right now, and I’m amazed at the amount of minorities that I’m recruiting for the Iowa Hawkeyes in the state of Iowa.

    I don't mean this in a rcist way whatsoever.

    I just grew up in Iowa and don’t recall the diversity…

    Bigot!

    What I like best are the mixed-ethnicity names that video games generate by randomly combining first and last names of players. Shin-soo Rodriguez, Rodrigo Suzuki and the like.

    I Was A

    Bit surprised when I realized my nephew’s name, Sean Campbell, could easily be assumed to be a black name due to Sean Combs and Luther Campbell.

    I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

    My Last Name

    Is fairly common as a black last name down south. Apparently a lot of slave owners in my family tree, along with Bill Clinton (nee William Jefferson Blythe IV) and the Barrymores.

    It generated a kid's name to be

    “James James” for me… I refused to recruit him, assuming his parents hated him and beat him regularly.

    One Of My

    Brothers had a friend named Emery Emery. People thought he was being a smartass, including the police, when he gave his name.

    Before I moved back to Iowa we lived in southern Colorado.

    There was a kid in my middle school named Jose Jose.
