The minor leagues are filled with players with exotic, onomatopoeic, or just-plain-funny names. Our top picks (all real):
Wes Swackhamer
"He's batting cleanup on my team," Jon says.
Jacob Mullinax
"And he's my DH," says Jesse.
Mitch Walk
A pitcher, no less.
Brandon Puffer
"Probably not a power hitter," Jesse concludes.
Abner Arroyo
Perhaps named for Abner Doubleday.
Tyler von Schell
Either a shortstop or a German count.
Buddy Bengle
Come on.
Boof Bonser
No, really, come on.
