He'll be John Shocker. The man pulls his hand away, resolved to get his way. A name isn't everything, but tag a baby with a bad one and he or she already has a foot in a hole. Ima and Ura Hog. Those probably aren't real names, probably just school yard jokes, but there are plenty of strange names out there, especially in the sports world.
Some names have a good ring.
Stephens County's Condor Cash comes to mind. Now, that sounds like a power hitter, just like Enos Slaughter, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals. While some were blessed with tough-sounding names, others got the raw end of the deal, like Eddie Stanky, who once walked seven times in one game for the Cubs. Or Pud Galvin, whose 6,334 hits allowed is the second most in a career by a major league pitcher. Poor, poor Pud.
