The Mount Rushmore of baseball names




I call it Mount Blushmore, the truly embarrassing names.


Baseball is known for colorful monikers, so there have been many to chose from. Too many to single out just four. But four is the number of the mountain. The four presidents carved on Rushmore allow for debate, as do the four names enshrined on Blushmore.

Tony Suck

Ugly Dickshot

Cuckoo Christy

Pebbly Jack Glasscock


I discussed the apotheosis of those names and the men behind them here.
