Players With Two First (Baseball) Names

gmarutiak · 01-07-2019, 10:50 AM

This will probably be the stupidest thread you click on this week, but I was just reading a thread about Nolan Gorman and I thought of Nolan Ryan and Gorman Thomas.

Other than Nolan (Ryan) Gorman (Thomas), can you think of any other baseball players (or any athletes or celebrities, for that matter) who have two first baseball names?

Jeter Downs is going to annoy the heckuva outta the Get Off My Lawn crowd, like me. "Didja pull a Jeter from that case?"

Sorry, 'Downs' is not really a first name though.

We're 10 posts in, and nobody has made a Talladega Nights reference.

I'm disappointed with everyone.

I remember as a kid trying to chain names together like that. I sure if you looked over all the Jrs in MLB, you could find something that would extend the chain. Probably a better Jose as well.
