Let it be henceforth known that B.J. Upton is now Melvin Upton, Jr.

He'd had been better off changing his name to Justin.

B.J. Mora was reportedly also under consideration.

There are probably very few people who have ever chosen to rename themselves "Melvin".

That tennis player that cut his own wiener off and became super [crossout:3pkc86po]beautiful[/crossout:3pkc86po] beastly.

It's going to go through the NL East. Every two years, a player will re-declare his name. Two years from now, Anthony Rendon will become "Michel-Luc" Rendon. Two years after that, Bobby Parnell will become "Cleveland Parnell III." And finally two years after that, Ben Revere will become "Smokey." Just that. "Smokey." No last name.

Roberto Clemente was called Bob early in his career. Sounds weird now. Manny Lee announced one year that he wanted to be called by his name, Manuel. I remember some sportswriters snickering about that. Pete Jablonowski never accomplished much until he changed his name to Appleton.

I would probably have to buy a Cleveland Parnell III jersey.
