This is the only MLB pitcher with a first name of Chico in MLB history that I could find. There was a Matt Chico who pitched 2007,2008 & 2010 for the Washington Nationals.
Moral of the story..if you want your kid to be a major league pitcher don't name him Chico
But, if he's one of 5 brothers involved in slap-stick vaudevillian comedy, Chico is a must for one of the names.
Then name ALL your kids, boy or girl, Chico to increase the odds for having a slapstick comedian in the family. Didn't Jose Cruz name all his sons Jose and George Foreman name all his boys George? Guess that would ruin my theory right there

One of the Jose Cruz Jrs did make it to the majors...
