I'm surprised nobody has mentioned SF Giants shortstop, the late Jose Uribe, who played under the name Jose Gonzalez at the beginning of his career (due to variations in Spanish nomenclature).

The first time he came up to bat against the Mets, after announcing his name change, Mets announcer Tim McCarver said, "he's literally the player to be named later."

Thats also how the entire Rojas family became the Alous. At least until the recently fired Mets manager reclaimed it.

Don't think it's been mentioned, but Denny and Dennis Martinez? Or how about Leo/Chico Cardenas?

How about Frank Thomas/Anonymous? Sorry - it's still early and I'm a bit punchy from lack of coffee....

If not mentioned, Rich Gossage became Goose. Did any Jim Hunter cards actually say Catfish on front?

I looked for both a few days ago and couldn’t find any but several of Hunter’s cards have Jim “Catfish” Hunter as the facsimile signature.

How about two names on the same card?
