I always felt Mickey Klutts was an unfortunate name for a ballplayer.
My favorite of all time, mentioned in the OP, is Phenomenal Smith. Classic!

289. Guffawbulous
Having a name (Eddie Stanky, Heinie Manush, Johnny Pesky, Tom Tresh, Pete LaCock, e.g.) that causes every single collector alive to giggle a little bit whenever they run across one of his cards.
