A great game for name fans
Over on ESPN tonight, the Tigers and Indians had a good one going one.
Fausto Carmona pitched for the Indians, while rookie Jair Jurrjens made his Major League debut for the Tigers. The Indians, of course, have Jhonny Peralta, who always makes my all-name list by virtue of being unable to spell his own first name correctly. Special bonus for Cleveland was Asdrubal Cabrera at second base making the double play combination with Peralta.
One of the best games for name fans in quite some time.

"Jhonny" reminds me of a "you might be a Filipino" joke about inserting letters in odd places in otherwise Anglo names.
In sports, "Antawn" Jamison always freaks me out because it looks like his parents took him halfway home to a first name that was spelled like it sounded, but then yanked defeat from the jaws of victory.
