  Pitching coach, Dick Pole…….my fave
  Oh wait….what about new Japanese import, Kosuke Fukudome?

  Jeez, the woman ends up with a sports-fan boyfriend and now she’s doing wacky zany baseball humor.

  John, what have you done?

• 3 Gina // Apr 8, 2008 at 8:09 pm

  Interesting that the Yankee fan leaves Chin My Wang off the list.

  Asdrubal Cabrera?

• 4 JohnnyBoy // Apr 8, 2008 at 8:19 pm

  Especially when you consider that Sizemore was traded for Colon once

• 5 JohnnyBoy // Apr 8, 2008 at 8:21 pm

  and Randy Johnson doesn’t even break the top 10? what, too obvious?

• 6 JohnnyBoy // Apr 8, 2008 at 8:27 pm

  My top pick for all time:

  Don’t blame John, Speedy. This is the kind of thing that’s bound to happen when you have ESPN on all day and you’re pounding Theraflu.

• 8 gary // Apr 8, 2008 at 8:50 pm

  Chin My Wang…..das iss goot.
  Another fave

  April, if you see this, did you get the second batch of mp3s?

  Lullaby Teen Spirit, the other Teen Spirit, Bluegrass Boots, Godfather Surf, Dylan Green Eggs and Ham

  I have an Italian California Dreaming if you want

  They’re all great ballplayers.

  why not Babe ruth? To make sense of a stupid fucking name like babe ruth one has to think it is homo erotic. Of course, this is coming from a guy who thinks the show ‘jackass’ is homoerotic and so is ‘mama’s family’.

• 12 JohnnyBoy // Apr 9, 2008 at 7:19 am

  palJacky, the list is limited to active players

  otherwise there’d be mention of Dick Pole and Pete LaCock

• 13 gary // Apr 9, 2008 at 8:10 am

  Dick Pole, I believe , is still working as a pitching coach.
  He should count

• 14 JohnnyBoy // Apr 9, 2008 at 10:05 am

  Yep, the Reds ! confirmed it with Wikipedia, which adds this piece of insight:

  ” Pole’s name is often treated in humorous fashion by sports columnists and pundits because his name is “dick pole”, which is a sexual innuendo.”

• 15 pal Jacky // Apr 9, 2008 at 10:07 am

  like anyone really knows what active player means.

• 16 JohnnyBoy // Apr 9, 2008 at 10:17 am

  It’s like yeast or something

• 17 JohnnyBoy // Apr 9, 2008 at 10:21 am

  Are you genuinely interested in a real answer? Let me know.

• 18 creeto // Apr 9, 2008 at 10:48 am

  How about Rollie Fingers?

• 19 pal Jacky // Apr 9, 2008 at 11:39 am

  It is sports so there really isn’t a real answer. other than the manly sport of darts, all sports can go hang.

• 20 JohnnyBoy // Apr 9, 2008 at 12:06 pm

  I’ll take that as a “No”

• 21 pixie // Apr 9, 2008 at 1:47 pm

  April, you must make an all-time list or something. Cuz there’s no justice in ignoring Rusty Kuntz (pronounced koonce…supposably; played in the majors in the late ’70s and early ’80s).

  For what it’s worth, too, Nick Swisher is on the White Sox now, bringing the awesome. And Pete LaCock is the son of Hollywood Squares host Peter Marshall.

• 22 JohnnyBoy // Apr 9, 2008 at 1:52 pm

  Did Rusty Kuntz ever face Oil Can Boyd?

  They played around the same time in the same league

• 23 albo // Apr 9, 2008 at 4:49 pm

  April, your headline was about a red vag hair away from total glory. “Baseball players” are also known as “ballplayers.”

• 24 JohnnyBoy // Apr 9, 2008 at 5:04 pm

  From Planes Trains and Automobiles:

  Del: “You play with your balls a lot.”
  Neal: “I do not play with my balls.”
  Del: “Larry Bird doesn’t do as much ball-handling in one night as you do in an hour.”
  Neal: “Are you trying to start a fight?”
  Del: “No, I’m simply stating a fact, that’s all. You fidget with your nuts a lot.”
  Neal: “You know what I’d like?”
  Del: “Another set of balls and an extra set of fingers?”

  LMAOOOOOO JohnnyBoy! Just for the record, I used to work for two urologists named Dr. Balz & Dr. Holder. I answered the phone with just the words, “Doctor’s office.” because I couldn’t say their names without cracking up.

• 26 Andre // Apr 12, 2008 at 7:40 pm

  I’m watching the Dodgers (Go Blue!) play the Padres and the Padres have a pitching coach (pitching…heh!) named Darren Balsley.

  Does that count?
