2007 BOWMAN HERITAGE JOE SMITH
A couple of years back, I shared my top 20 favorite Mets player names.
Well every coin has a flip side, so here’s a list of my top 10 least-favorite Mets player names of all time.
10. Bill Almon. Bill was no doubt good friends with Jeff Peanu, Jimmy Cashe, and Bob Peca.
9. Junior Noboa. This was actually my stripper name back in the early ’90s. Dark times for your humble blogger. Dark times indeed…
8. Blaine Beatty. This name makes me think of popped collars and being mean to Molly Ringwald. Both of which suck…
7. Bill Hepler. Meet my dyslexic helper.
6. Tim Hamulack. You might think that being a vegetarian I’d like this name, but not so much…
5. Brock Pemberton. I have it on good authority that Blaine Beatty bought his polo shirts and his Beamer from Brock Pemberton.
4. Brad Clontz. So what, we’re letting Don Martin name players now? Zlitz! Plorf! Clontz!
3. Blas Minor. Not sure which part of this name fills me with less enthusiasm, the Blas or the Minor.
2. Glendon Rusch. Dude, don’t go hogging the first names– just pick one and commit.
1. Joe Smith. Warning: Do not operate heavy machinery after reading the name Joe Smith. May…yawn… cause… strettttccch… drowsiness… zzzz…
Give Joe Smith a break,not everyone can have an exciting name.
