The 'incorrect' Chad Ochocinco. (But I maintain that it does say 8 and 5, so it's fine.)

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I have a few uncut sheets of '78 Topps on the walls of my home office. My daughter and her college friends were in there one night playing pool, glanced at one of the sheets, and saw Dick Pole's card...'nuff said? Poor guy.

I can't find any cards, but there was a minor leaguer who signed his name "Jose A. Pujols". When he got to the big leagues he started signing A. Pujols. He goes by Albert now.

I used to work with a guy named Richard Head. I wonder what his parents were thinking.

Whatever you think of his parents, it's pretty clear the guy came out ahead.

Walt Hazzard became Mahdi Abdul Rahman.
And of course, in boxing, I don't even need to say it.

Al Jackson/Alvin Jackson (1966 Topps). Kudos to the poster of Elrod Hendricks/Ellie Hendricks, I had that one in my head yesterday morning and then forgot it.
