Back in our younger days, our group of friends might have been known to attend high school sporting events, pick out an opposing player with a funny or unusual name, and spend the entire game heckling that player unmercifully. This wasn’t exactly groundbreaking or highbrow comedy, but we were 16, and this was North Dakota. We only bring this up because we’ve pretty much outgrown that phase of our lives. A name is a name. A person can’t help what they are called. That said, we shudder to think what might have happened if, 13 or 14 years ago, this Oklahoma State wrestling roster had traveled from the future and fallen into the wrong hands. Ace Adamson. Chaz Cointment. Newly McSpadden. Seriously, we might have spontaneously combusted. So, in the name of juvenile fun: What are some of the most unusual names you have come across in sports? And, be honest: Have you at one point in your life heckled a person to tears?
