"Vito Tamulis" is a cool (Lithuanian) name and last year I discovered he was born close to where I live now, so did some cursory extra research.
There have been other players named Vito, but Vitautis Casimirus Tamulis is baseball's only known pro to have any of those three names.

Thought I'd revive this thread because I caught a cool detail last week I hadn't noticed before. Just picked up 1952 Bowman High Number of Sherm Lollar, and when I had it in hand I noticed that Sherm had personalized his catcher's mask! Would like to see the proof photo for this card...I wonder if Sherm really did that, or if the artist took some liberty with his painting.

I'll play
For a long time I thought that someone had drawn a black eye on my Weber card after it was printed. I don't know why...just assumed it was written on. Then a week or two ago I saw another one and realized that they were all printed that way.

Perhaps he should have been named David Donlin
Speaking of hands, someone recently pointed out Donlin's hands on this card...I always thought the card had a cool looking pose, but now all I see are his over-sized Michelangelo's David hands (but crudely done). Perhaps this makes the card cooler to me now...?

I guess this isn't necessarily cool but I remember being surprised when I noticed that the Joseph Hall cabinet of Boston was really just Brooklyn, with some help with the heads.
