A Funny Player Names Thread - Happy Birthday Heinie and Peek-A-Boo

[splitterpfj]

Heinie Beckendorf, born this day in 1884, Peek-A-Boo Veach, born this day in 1862.

 

I love funny player names, be it Dick Pole, "Pebbly Jack" Glasscock, Johnny Wockenfuss or even Diego Segui - these men deserve a place of honor.

 

Who are your favorites?

Razor Shines

I've always been partial to George "Ol' Wax Figger" Hemming.

 

And there was possibly no better surname match for our Milwaukee team than Jim Bruske.

I enjoyed Oddibe McDowell...

Milton Bradley and Rusty Kuntz

 

On a lighter not my friend's last name is Heinie and the father was Seymour Heinie.

 

I was told, when small, he was the inventor of the mini-skirt. (I believed it for some time)
