Non-ballplayers with perfect baseball names

trripleplay · 09-24-2002, 12:06 PM

Related to the thread about your favorite baseball names, how about non-baseball people with such good baseball names the should have been ballplayers?

For example:

Homer Simpson
Jeff Greenfield (TV news reporter)
Sally Field (had a cup of coffee in the SALLY League)
The Artful Dodger
Neil Diamond

Tom Waits (high OBP man)
George Bush (see Sally Field)

Christopher Walken (high OBP)
Dustin Diamond (sounds like a pitcher)
Vin Diesel (sounds like a power hitter)
Britney Spears (middle infielder?)
Pig Pen (of Peanuts fame)
Steve Ballmer (of Microsoft fame)
Cameron Cleeland (only if he plays for the Indians)
Menk Bateer (of no fame, but is from China)

trripleplay · 09-24-2002, 09:53 PM

Yes, real names.

Like Menk Bateer

Not sure he fits too well in baseball, but the best sporting name I have heard was Steele Lewis. A welsh rugby player of recent vintage.

Batman.

If you're going to mention Batman, then don't forget who was Robin the bases.
