Possibly greatest name for a baseball player ever
-
That's a lot of weight on his shoulders to produce. Can you imagine being born with that name? The expectations to not only like baseball, but to be good enough to hit MLB? Wow!
-
Shohei Mantle Strawberry would be an awesome name
-
When our oldest had his first boy, I tried to convince him to name him Nolan Ryan Watson. Our daughter-in-law was having none of it
When their second boy came along, I just kept my mouth shut.It's probably just as well. For their oldest second birthday, he got a tee, soft ball (not softball), and soft bat. He kept trying to hit the ball with the handle...no matter how my son handed the bat to him
-
My first born is going to be named Mike Trout even if it's a girl.

Heck let the kid get used to hitting it with the handle then when he figures out he can use the other end he’ll be knocking everything out of the park lol

Heh. You have a point. We'll see if his mom lets him play any sport...
