Brad Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 Boof Bonser is one that stands out. If I were this kid, I'd change my name, at least the first name. Sounds like a name from the comic strips. Quote

Sounds like a name from the comic strips. Believe it or not, his name was actually John Bonser but he had it legally changed to his nick-name "Boof". Quote

ajf67 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 There was a pitcher in the 1950s named Whammy Douglas. There was/is also a relief pitcher with the last name of Putz. I remember this because I was at a National's gane and he was relentlessly taunted by the fans. As he would go through his motion fans would yell out "PUTZ!". It started with these two guys and it built to where so many people were doing it it was pretty hilarious. Quote
