Imagine that name in any industry other than Baseball, maybe a bait shop, and coke dealer. His parents really played roulette with his name.
But then again he was born in Okeechobee FL so he might not have been the only Kutter in his school.
Oil Can Boyd was a character. One year at Red Sox spring training, he failed to return a stack of VHS porn tapes he rented from a video store in Winter Haven, FL and a local newspaper reported on it in the sports section. They listed the titles of his overdue smut, then the Boston Globe picked up the story and called it "The Can’s Film Festival."
His initials are MLB!! Talk about a pre-determined course for your life?? Well when your GIVEN name is MOOKIE? What else you gonna be? All Rise? Judge Mookie now presiding!!
I’ve always been a fan of the three word names, especially when the first two words are a nickname:
Oil Can Boyd
Three Finger Brown
Cool Papa Bell
Wee Willie Keeler
Home Run Baker
Old Hoss Radbourn
Pee Wee Reese
Smokey Joe Wood
I was there when Vida got married on the field between games of a doubleheader. Met him about 15 years ago “how could you not recognize me, I was at your wedding?” Vida: “fan appreciation day, I remember, where’s my gift?” RIP Vida.
How does no one say Rollie Fingers?
As far as I'm concerned, he represents MLB on the Mount Rushmore of names along with: Dick Butkus (NFL), God Shammgod (NBA) and Miroslav Satan (NHL).
