Back on December 28^th, my original "Why I Should Win This Contest" post contained the following statement:

"I think that, in no particular order, Dickie Thon, Mackey Sasser, and Candy Maldonado are the best three names in the history of baseball."

The fallout from such a remark sparked a heated debate and elevated my post to the reigns of "Most Popular".  More importantly, it caused me to rethink my old top ten list and even lose some sleep.

After much research and as a complement to Tuesday's top ten, I've re-worked my old roster to accommodate new names, new faces, and suggestions from readers.  Without further ado...

Top Ten Baseball Names of All-Time

10.   Joaquin Andujar

Suspended as part of a drug-dealing scandal in the 1980s that didn't involve Steve Howe.

9.   Boog Powell

Only Boog in MLB history to win an MVP award and be named Boog.

8.   Cookie Rojas

All you need to know about Cookie Rojas.

7.   Chet Lemon

Most noted for meaningless head-first slides into first base.

6.   Rusty Kuntz

Could launch a porn site tomorrow and achieve one million hits by Sunday.

5.   Dick Pole

Ditto.

4.   Dan Quisenberry

Ranks first on my All-Time Baseball Berry's List in front of Darry Strawberry, Faye Throneberry, and Damon Berryhill.

3.   Dickie Thon

According to Baseball-Reference.com, Dickie's career numbers compare favorably to those of Chico Carrasquel and Mariano Duncan. 

2.   Mackey Sasser

The likely inspiration behind Rube Baker's throwing impediment in Major League II.

1.   Candy Maldanado

Most dominant San Francisco Giant in "R.B.I. Baseball" and only ESPN Deportes personality most people can name.
