Top Ten Coolest Names in Baseball History

The Top Ten
1 Coco Crisp

I mentioned the name Coco Crisp in an e mail, and my younger cousin was reading over my shoulder and asked, " Is that a kind of cereal sponsoring something? Or is that the name of the guy who created coco puffs? " I laughed hysterically, and explained it was a baseball player's name and she replied, " Who names their son CoCo? "

Yes, that's an awesome name. The reason he's my daughter's favorite player. My daughter also bursts out laughing when she hears Albert Pujols' name mentioned.

2 Babe Ruth George Herman Ruth Jr., better known as Babe Ruth, was an American professional baseball player whose career in Major League Baseball spanned 22 seasons, from 1914 through 1935.

George Herman Ruth. How did he get his nickname?

3 Billy Beane
4 Ty Cobb
5 Rusty Kuntz

I've got tickets for this year's Rusty Kuntz bobblehead, and it's so cool! It will be a talking bobblehead with his best-known sayings. It will even have real hair they say.

I have a Rusty Kuntz Rookie, and autograph.

17 Joe DiMaggio Joseph Paul DiMaggio, nicknamed "Joltin' Joe" and "The Yankee Clipper", was an American baseball center fielder who played his entire 13-year career in Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees.

I love Joe DiMaggio, and I don't think there is a more fun last name to say in baseball than "DiMaggio".
