OOTP11 Player Name Thread

Gotta have one of these, anyone with any interesting player names pop up?
In my league I have a catcher named Barry Sanders. But unlike the real Barry he's slow as heck and doesn't play for Detroit.

My personal favorite comes from OOTPX. Henry Henry. Was quite the dominant closer. I also had a 2nd baseman named Peter Parker.... I had to give him a nickname.

I saw a fictional player for a team in Cleveland called Serrano. Not quite Pedro Cerrano from Major League but an amusing coincidence nonetheless.

Charlie Kelly. Now is hitting top of the order, a 22 year old star. Not from Philly though.

Wally Watkins today, but that is only interesting for me. I went to school with someone with that name lol.

Daniel Serrano of Roads to Freedom fame?

The ace starter for the best other team in my division has the same name as my favorite cousin.

The top player in my league is a catcher with the name Harry "Balls" Wagner. Yep the computer gave him that nickname. There's another pretty good outfielder in my league named Andy Wagner who's 2 years younger and also has the nickname Balls. So obviously in my league these 2 guys are the Balls Brothers.

I have a Monte Brewster.

jaw dropped

norva13x · 04-16-2010, 02:04 PM

I have a pitcher named Bryan Adams

Cryomaniac · 04-16-2010, 02:08 PM

Only funny to me, but I saw a guy with the same name as my next door neighbour.

24Rocks · 04-16-2010, 02:11 PM

I had a guy in my league with the same name as my Grade 8 Principal.

And evidently Carlos Beltran owns my Seattle franchise, but he just died midseason.
In fact two team owners died in 4 days during late July.

AA 2B Blue Cheese. Yikes!

Would have been better if he played "sloppy" 2nd base.

On another hockey related tangent, I did have an Ed Belfour and Daniel Briere in my OOTPX league.

I have the following characters in my Taiwanese League:

Fu Kung -- a MR on the First-Securities Crooks. His hometown is Kangshan, Taiwan.

Wing-tat Wang -- a MR on the Uni-President Lions and hails from Fengyuan, Taiwan.

When was he born? Sounds like someone had overly Democratic parents in the mid 90's!
