Just something to think about . . . since there are three teams that also fit this category; Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates and of course the Chicago Cubs !
Today I start with A.A. - Andy Allanson.
A.A. (Allanson) was a Topps All-Star Rookie selection in 1987 (probably his kiss of death), played for 8 years and five different teams, mostly for the Cleveland Indians. He never lived up to his status given out by Topps by hitting only 16 career HR's driving in 140 runs and having a lifetime BA of .240.
But nonetheless, A.A. is my first entry in my new "irregular special feature" that I will be calling . . . drum roll please . . . "Duplicate Initials". If I can submit an entry weekly, that means this task will be done in 26 weeks (or less if I can not find Q.Q. or a Z.Z.).
Just wait until next week . . .I know your brains are working already trying to figure out who will be my B.B. or C.C. or D.D . . . ? ! Please tune in again next week . . .

ReplyDeleteAllanson wasn't even good enough to be a candidate for my Backup Catchers Hall of Fame. I always wanted Allan Anderson to pitch to him.
ReplyDeleteThrow in Harry Caray trying to keep that straight and you have sheer comedy!
As a G.G. myself, I can't wait for "Gene Garber"
