The OFFICIAL Major League Baseball Name Game

[hotcorner33]

In this game, I will start out with the name of a major league baseball player, past or present. The next person to post after me must give the name of a major league player past or present whose first name starts with the last letter in the last name of the person who was posted before you.
The winner is the person who posts the name to which nobody can come with an answer for. Note: YOU CANNOT USE THE SAME NAME MORE THAN TWICE IN THE SAME GAME! I will put up a leaderboard. At the end of the offseason, we will crown our "Name Game Champion". Edit: The post must be in play for 12 hours without a correct response before the person is deemed the winner. So, on my Darryl Strawberry post, by 7:55 am est tommorrow, nobody gets it. I win a game. Then, I, the winner, would start out the next game by choosing a name. Fair enough?

Nick Johnson (why does nearly every player whose name starts win an N aslo ends with one?)

[Chief Knockahoma]

The truth.

DQ. Sorry Mc, but you are DONE!

[McCarroll21]

Guess that's what I get for skipping a page in the thread lol... Oh well, I don't need any extra posts at this time. Enjoy boys.

[Adam's Army]

DQ.

Xavier Hernandez

[McCarroll21]

I'm just going to say this. I'm DQ'd and don't really care, but nowhere in your description of the game does it say that you can't use a player already named. Might want to think about your rules before you enforce them. That would be like me banning someone because I made up a rule in my head that he/she broke.

he does mention it on the 2nd page
this game is a lot more fun in person without the use of the internet between 2 peopl

Erhm my bad ... should be in the first post and sat from the beginning ... oh wellz, I'll get back in when this goes for so long it gets re-loaded. Hotcorner, edit your first post to include that so that someone that just now gets in on this won't start posting people said early on. Force them to either read through it or not play until another one starts up.

Another suggestion: When this goes on long enough to start a Round 2, make it have to be current players. Put restrictions on it or there will never be a "winner"

Hold the time limit ... Judge Hotcorner, which name do we use?

[hotcorner33]

Hold the time limit ... Judge Hotcorner, which name do we use?

Last.

[McCarroll21]

Last.
So does that mean that Rigo Beltran isn't an option? It was right but the next guy used a R name too.

Oh well, moving on with Ramon Ortiz ... Zach Jackson

[hotcorner33]

nick green

And the winner is:

VNODNARB
