Default Nobodies who should have been great based on their names

As long as we are on topics like this. Here is my first pick -- Duke Carmel -- with a name like that he should have been a superstar.

I wish there was more information out there about some of these players. I'd love to read about their post career lives, etc., and what happened to those that did not make a career out of baseball. Ten Million has to be my favorite. Reminds me of that football player (Ocho Cinco?) or whatever.

Tony Gwynn...
Pete Rose...
Eddie Collins...
Ed Walsh...

Jr

All those names associated with greatness, yet the Juniors couldn't live up to their father's legacies.

Pre-war, sorry, not post-war, but mainly on-topic:
were any cards (major or minor league) ever made for either
Astyanax Douglass (two demitasse cups of coffee with the 1920s Reds) or
Klondike Douglass (mostly fin-de-siecle Phillies)?
Regardless, ya gotta love those names...
