Speaking of Harry "Suitcase" Simpson, I came across another big leaguer who moved around a fair amount, "Available" Jones.

Anyone familiar with Memo Luna? I was so enamored of his name, I bought his baseball card.

The Boyer family was burdened with bad names. Clete's brother was named Cloyd.

My all time favorite, bar none, though, is Van Lingle Mungo.

Trivially speaking, are folks aware that John Berradino, the movie and television actor (small part in Hitchcock's North by Northwest and a long running role in the daytime soap General Hospital as Dr. Steve Hardy) played in the majors for the Browns and the Pirates in the early '50's?

Up over and out.
