Cool Names Cubs	Best Names Cub Pitchers		Cool Names Sox
1. Mordecai       (Three Finger)	Any Cub fan knows who Mordecai is And any Sox fan knows who Three Finger is! You don't need a last name!
2. Heathcliff Slocumb	A weird first name combined with an unusual last name . . . . . . makes for one of the best names in recent baseball history!
3 and 4. Vallie Eaves Virgil Cheeves	Package deal: if you take one you must take the other! This gives you the rare "V" sound alliteration and the Eaves/Cheeves rhyme-- a solid one-two punch!
5. Bill Hands	You want a pitcher to have good hands! Especially when you can get him to pitch to Barry Foote!
6. Sheriff Blake	What better name for a man who has to establish law and order . . . . . . by mowing down the enemy's disorderly batters?
7. Speed Martin	Excellent handle for a strike-out artist! Gets the nod over Darcy Fast and Charlie Gassaway!
8. Orval Overall	Orval: one of the ever-popular hayseed names of yesteryear! Match it up with Overall, and you have a classic!
9. Jimmy Lavender	There'll never be another Jimmy Lavender! Which is why we decided to commemorate his name!
10. Sweetbreads Bailey	Two things we like about this pitching specialist: 1) They called him Sweetbreads; 2) He came from Joliet
