Enough of the Jaxxons and Brantlieghs and Chastyns. Hell I saw a Jaykeb the other day. Awful spellings.


Wish we'd see a shift to way cooler Greco-Roman style names for the little Sluggers. Like:

Battux
Pitchocles
Homer
Tagamemnon
Outfieldicus
Slugtavian
Balkimax

Of course, the Ump would be named Polyphemus.

How could you leave out Atlas? It’s even a Louisville Slugger bat model.

No Apollo, Mars, Mercury, Vulcan, Zeus, Aion, Chaos, Nemesis, or Nyx?

I tried to make a joke with Procrustes, but it was too much of a stretch.

All these Aidens Braydens and Caidens have proven that white people can have ghetto names too.

I'm not ready for a future where I watch a documentary about World War Eleven and how Generals Jacksyn Huffman and D'amarion Watkins lead forces that stormed Normandy Beach again.

Little Octavius will be hitting grand slams while Augustus throws no hitters.

I can see the twins Castor and Pollux at first and third.


Better than Braxton throwing a pitch to Braxtyn who hits it to Brextin who throws it to Braxtan at third to get out Braxxten for the Double Plaigh.

Man, I really like Slugtavius.

Going to suggest that one for when I have grandchildren.

If I ever see Homer LeBlanc come up to the plate I'm just going to quit life.
