231. - Clyde Kluttz 1946

Imagine going through life with that last name, especially as a pro ball player. Any time he would make an error, someone else would say "What a Klutz!"

Uh, oh.

238. musial6 - Ben Chapman 1939

From the Wikipedia entry about Ben Chapman: "It was in New York that the extent of Chapman's bigotry first surfaced. He taunted Jewish fans at Yankee Stadium with Nazi salutes and disparaging epithets.[1] In a 1933 game, his confrontation with the Washington Senators' Jewish infielder, Buddy Myer, caused a 20-minute brawl that saw 300 fans participate and resulted in five-game suspensions and $100 fines for each of the players involved.[2]"

Buddy Myer is on my team!!

Ben Chapman was also prominently mentioned in the movie "42". He was manager of the Phillies and a vehement antagonist of Jackie Robinson during Robinson's rookie season.

Uh, oh.

Are you speaking for me or are you saying Buddy Myer is on your team? Because Buddy Myer is on my team!
If you're speaking for me - so be it - I got a lot of NEL players on the team also. They don't have to love each other. HAL just has to throw the right freaking dice combinations. Yeah - that'll happen!

Major league Oops on my part!! I have Billy Myers on my team, who also happens to be a shortstop. So this league has a Buddy Myer, and a Billy Myers, and they both happen to play shortstop. Sorry about the confusion.

Proxy for my next 2 picks.. J Powell and Dahlgren both Yankees and both 1939.

Youse guys missed my 2 proxies..
