In the first name group, we’ve previously written about Atahualpa Severino. Each table below lists the letter tallied, the “record” for most of that letter in the name, the number of players sharing that record, and the most recent debut of any such player. In the interest of being thorough, I compiled the record-holders for first, last and combined names, using the Lahman Baseball Database as a name/spelling source (we’re going by how they were referred to in their careers, not necessarily their given name). In the event of a mega-tie, perhaps an indication of the number of players and which one made the most recent major league debut? Īnyhow, I thought that perhaps you’d research which player last names contain the most of each letter. I don’t know if anyone else has since joined this club.

Loyal VORG reader Jeff Gelman emailed me recently:Ī short time after his call-up to the majors I read that Andy Pettitte had become just the second major leaguer with 4 t’s in his last name, joining Mickey Tettleton. Since I don’t really have a rooting interest, and I’m pining very hard for baseball, I decided to see if the winning league in MLB’s All-Star Game and/or World Series could be used as a predictor of the winning conference in the Super Bowl.īelow you will find the yearly winners of the World Series, All-Star Game from 1966 forward, and that season’s Super Bowl : YEAR Super Bowl 48 is expected to be a close contest, with each team having legitimate reasons why they could or should win.
