Alex Karras, in George Plimpton's Mad Ducks and Bears, discussed the importance of a name for success in athletics. He said that QB's such as Sammy Baugh, Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas had names that conjured up images of team leadership. Names such as Chuck Bednarik,Dick Butkus and Ray Nitschke..... their names sounded frightening as they terrorized offensive players that ventured into their territory. A QB Karras played with had the best arm of anyone but his name was the kiss of death......Milt Plum. He said with a name like that, all you can envision is a kid wearing knickers and taking violin lessons.

What image comes to mind with a player named Tuffy Gosewisch?????

I had no idea.....very sad:

Yangervis Solarte enjoyed a very good season for the Padres in 2016 despite dealing with unimaginable tragedy off the field. Yuliette Solarte, Yangervis’ wife, was diagnosed with liver cancer in late 2015 and passed away last September at age 31. As the infielder tells Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Solarte was prepared to skip last year’s Spring Training to spend time with his wife and their three daughters, but Yuliette urged him to focus on baseball in order to continue providing for their family’s future. Yuliette saw her husband secure his first life-changing payday last spring in the form of a $3.15MM brand contract with Fantex, and Solarte gained even more financial security by signing a two-year extension with the Padres this past January. Sanders’ touching piece is well worth a full read, chronicling the couple’s life together, Solarte’s journey to the big leagues and Yuliette’s battle after her heartbreaking diagnosis.

Stuart Turner, Rule 5 catcher MN never could even get to AAA, made the Reds' roster.

Milone in the MIL bullpen. Guess no griping/complaining for now.

Nolasco will start opening day for the Angels.
