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

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 DarbyDuce GoursonChase HarlanKale FountainRustan Rigdon
i've added them to my "cool names" list along with more established prospects that have been there a while, including:Leodalis De VriesChase DeLauterXavier IsaacJJ BledayChristian Encarnacion-StrandWyatt Langford
