What kind of dummy would hire a bench coach named Dummy Henry? Oh yeah . . . I did.

There used to be a Flash Bush in our league.

Sort of on topic: Has anyone seen any Aarons, Yastrzemskis, Younts, Molitors and the like? I just searched my world for those names and came up blank. It seems WiS out some of the rarer HOFer surnames. I want to draft Chan Ho Yastrzemski.

Should add some of the more recent MLB guys in there too. I need Moonlight Saltalamacchia or Boof Kluszewski on my team. C'mon WiS, get on the stick.

Wait... so "gookie" is acceptable? Is that what you're saying?

There's a guy on my team named Catfish Buddie. I'm not sure I want a pitcher who spends his spare time befriending fish... I also have a guy at the High A level named Pepper Pose.

I also have a pitching coach at the AA level named Bingo Banks. I'm assuming he's lucky and rich, because he doesn't seem to try very hard at a job that doesn't pay all that much [at least compared to what he could be making in the big leagues].

There's a Harry Johnson in our league on the rule V draft list. Nobody wanted to touch him....

Question? If he is in the game and you want to take him out, do you yank your Harry Johnson?

There are two Harry Johnson's in Pete Rose. When one came across the waiver wire, I would have claimed him if he had been bigger than the other one just to claim "My Harry Johnson is bigger than your's".

there is a guy in my league named Stuart Griffin


we assume his mother's name is Lois.

Theres a Slick Friend in Moneyball, if you take out the L and the R he becomes "Sick Fiend"

Todd Collins pitched 15 innings for my Rookie team. I'd use him more but his durability is 0. At least it should improve - he projects to a 1.

That team also has Hugh Whitehead. The team had to pay extra to get him a baseball hat.

Guy's a monster

I hope that monster gets some PC.
