If Butch Metzger is the most appropriately named Met, and Mark Teixeira is the most appropriately named Texas Ranger, who is the most appropriately named ... Kansas City Royal?

Am I supposed to continue the game now? Let's keep it in Missouri and try the St. Louis... Browns!

Mel Queen?

Prince Fielder?



Or, as they'd say in Cockneyland: Roy 'alladay

Jeff King was mos' def' on my shortlist.



Ángel Bravo, sadly, played for three teams, and none of them were the Angels or the Bravos. Being appropriately named is hard if your employers won't cooperate.

Amazingly, no one named Ray, or Raymond, has ever played for the Tampa Bay Rays.



Toronto has had two Jays - though technically they are both Jaysons (Jayson Nix, Jayson Werth), and that only stupid people spell the name Jayson with a Y.

The appropriately named St. Louis Cardinal Red Schoendienst? (I looked, they never had any player named Pope on that team).

I thought the most appropriately named Cardinal would be José Cardenal in a walk.

Yeah I forgot about him totally. I retract my earlier submission. Red Schoendienst can eat a bag of hot wet farts.

Drafted by the White Sox, but only appearing in MLB games with the Red Sox, Dwayne Hosey is appropriate for hosiery.

Dave Philley can do double duty, as he was also a Philadelphia Athletic.
