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!

I've also noticed that recent MLB drafts have features some pretty interesting names at first overall:

2015 - Dansby Swanson
2019 - Adley Rutschman
2020 - Spencer Torkelson

With a name like Swackhamer, he should have been a power hitter, but he never made it out of the minors.

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.

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