Or maybe it is the infamous hit by Jerry Mungo in 1970 that's triggering me.

There was a minor league outfielder from 1949 to 1954 named K Chorlton. Yes, K was his given first name.

Always liked these 2 guys names, flow of the tongue well. Quintanilla was a local favorite when he played with Modesto.

Former Tigers shortstop Coot Veal. He was born in Deepstep, Georgia (great name for a shortstop's hometown) in 1932 and is buried in Macon, Georgia -- home of what IMO is the greatest pro team name ever: the Macon Whoopees (Southern Hockey League, 1973-74).
