Re: Best name in sports

Jim Bob is a cult hero in these parts.

My personal favorite is former University of Kansas (by way of Stanford) pitcher and Detroit Tigers 33rd round selection in the 2006 draft, Kodiak Cochise Quick. I was REALLY hoping the Reds would draft him just because of his name.

Surprised he hasn't dropped in here to say hello to Boss Hog.

Still hard to beat Motorboat Jones for great names.
