With last night's debut of Phillies pitching prospect Antonio Bastardo, I got to thinking, who are some of the other all-time most unfortunately-named people in sports? I'm thinking of both guys with names that sound like a dirty word, insult, or something that would suggest being ugly, evil, inept, etcetera. Here's a list off the top of my head. Please add your own below.
Mets reliever J.J. Putz
Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay
Orioles president Andy McPhail
Cubs outfielder Kosuke Fukudome
MLB reliever John Coutlangus
NHL player Radek Bonk
Reds pitching coach Dick Pole
Yankees pitcher Chien Ming Wang
Former MLB player Rusty Kuntz
Heat guard Luther Head
Former South Carolina quarterback Chris Smelley
Smelley's former teammate / kicker Ryan Succop
Former Cincinnati Bearcats guard Jihad Muhammad
Former Seaton Hall guard Ty Shine
Former Blackhawks goalie Steve Passmore (only because he was a goalie)
Rays reliever Grant Balfour (only because he's a pitcher)
Former MLB reliever Eric Plunk (also because he was a pitcher)
I know I'm forgetting lots. Help me out.
