Cespedes BBQ great ol' names bracket

http://cespedesfamilybarbecue.com/2016/01/12/introducing-the-cfbbq-best-name-bracket-presented-by-baseball-reference/

among the pitchers to throw a no-hitter in the pacific coast league are:

Sea Lion Hall (twice)
Red Toner
Bill Malarkey
Skeeter Fanning (twice)
Suds Sutherland
Death Valley Jim Scott
Tiny Bonham
Cotton Pippen
Kewpie Dick Barrett
Red Munger
Bubba Church
Luis 'Foreign Object' Tiant

I am dismayed to see that I illegally snuck Humbert Humbert into my list of notables upthread.

the oakland a's have called up outfielder SKYE BOLT

Pitcher Cre Finfrock was transferred to Lansing from Extended Spring Training.

The 22-year-old Finfrock, whose first name is pronounced “Cree,” was drafted by Toronto in the 29th round in 2018 from the University of Central Florida.

Guys, I have done what I can to assure that The Jesus Lizard is played while Jesus Luzardo pitches at Cheney Stadium on Sunday. It's out of my hands now.

Why Bobson, and why Dugnutt? A deep dive into why and how Fighting Baseball's names are what they are - and a joke that's been hidden for over 25 years

folks, I just learned that hall of fame manager Connie Mack's birth name was Cornelius McGillicuddy. I don't really follow any baseball threads on ilx but given that that's pretty much the best name ever I had to search out the appropriate place to share my glee

This might just be my favorite name of Spring Training so far. pic.twitter.com/4tkCFcKwGz

Xzavion Curry has been in the majors for 2 years but anyone with a leading XZ- in their name needs to be recognized.

GEHRIG PINEDA

Gehrig Pineda rules

Tapping the sign for outfielder ROMAN ANTHONY, as ever, mainly because the chances my dn has to exist are non-zero

so one of the fantasy sites i play on still sends me an email pretty much every time a new player is added to the database. i am sure i could turn this off but i choose not to because sometimes i get names of minor leaguers that rule. recently it hit me with an email with one or two dozen names, and i had to write some down, and now i will share them here

here are some (new) guys:
Zander Darby
Duce Gourson
Chase Harlan
Kale Fountain
Rustan Rigdon

i've added them to my "cool names" list along with more established prospects that have been there a while, including:
Leodalis De Vries
Chase DeLauter
Xavier Isaac
JJ Bleday
Christian Encarnacion-Strand
Wyatt Langford

also roman anthony was on said list but i didn't include him bc you mentioned him (also, incredible dn gyac)

There was a prospect on one of the teams called Dillon Dingler.

Ty, Will! I hope to hear someone say it irl!
