INITIALLY INTERESTING

I obviously like talking about sports. I like to talk strategy, I like to talk trades. I’m fascinated by the political and financial sides of the game. I also enjoy the quirky, humorous parts of the sports world.

A while back, my boy B-Wiz and me were trippin on how many baseball players have double initials.. Like Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonds or Brett Boone and Bob Boone. The Wolf, who claims to have struck out something like 14 batters in a Division VII college baseball game, dropped a couple too, so I gotta give him a pound. There are examples of D.I.’d athletes in other sports (Mark Martin, Lisa Leslie, Fred Funk), but by our calculations, MLB easily has the most. Here’s a portion of our list:

  • Mark McGwire
  • Sammy Sosa
  • Barry Bonds
  • Bobby Bonds
  • Mike Morgan
  • Doug DeCinces
  • Mike Maddux
  • Dave Dravecky
  • Greg Gagne
  • Rafael Ramirez
  • Gary Gaetti
  • Mickey Mantle
  • J.D. Drew
  • Bruce Bochey
  • Mickey Morandini
  • Alan Ashby
  • Andy Ashby
  • Jorge Julio
  • Jacque Jones
  • Darren Daulton
  • Antonio Alfonseca
  • Bud Black
  • Billy Beane
  • Darren Driefort
  • Bobby Bonilla

There’s a lot more, so feel free to add your own in the comments section… Pascaul Perez, just in case you thought you were gonna slip that one in. You can also add your non-MLB names like:

  • Brent Barry
  • Greg Graham
  • Zinedine Zidane
  • Joe Jurevicius
  • Hulk Hogan
