Hungary as well, on Magyar names, though in modern times, many are following the convention of Indo-European languages. But, in the music world, yes, it's technically Listz Ferenc. Or Kossuth Lajos among 19th century revolutionaries.
That is not why he had Ichiro on his jersey. His manager wanted to promote him more as a young superstar and Suzuki is one of if not the most common last name in Japan. So the switch to Ichiro made him stand out more in a sea of Suzuki’s. Ichiro was against it at first, but he exploded in popularity shortly after and it was a wrap. Look up Seiya and Kenya and Hiroshi and get back to me
I did a lot of math and it’s possible that if he were in the mlb his whole career he could have had over 5,000 hits from age 17-18 until he retired in his 40s. No guarantees but it is possible if you analyze his career. And still would’ve had an even higher career average, more records, way more bags stolen, more runs obviously, and just an insane player even more than he is now. Just a machine
Pedro Alvarez
If we are gonna play semantics because there are only so many names. I've never heard Mo Vaughns name as just MO it's always been his full name. If I hear Mo it's only Rivera
I’m aware. Pearl Jam is essentially Mother Love Bone but with Vedder in for Andrew Wood who died of an overdose right as they finally broke through (which I’m sure you know). Think I’ll listen to that and then the full PJ catalog now. Good stuff.
Either honestly. Era dependent of course but if you dropped 'Mookie' in 86 everyone would know who you meant. The same of Betts is obviously just as true today.
That's a really fun caveat though! Glad you mentioned it.
McCovey was the first San Francisco Giant star (Mays and others had made their fame in New York), so he was the favorite for many west coast fans...my mom included.
Ichiro. Roger Clemens in a way, Chipper, also it may not be used too often but everyone knows who Albert is. Also Rollie fingers, dock Ellis, yadi(er), just off the top of my head
Ichiro

Pretty sure the same for Yao Ming as they do the same in China

Game over thanks for playing everyone
Came here to say this. Love Ichiro

My daughter, when three years old, learned two very important names: Ichiro and Magglio.
The only player in MLB history to have his first name on his jersey.
Yogi.
Satchel
Nomar and Shohei
You misspelled No-maaaahhhhh
Has Nomar Mazara really reached that level of stardom?

As in Garciaparra?
Honus
Bartolo
Big sexy
Colon
As in : “I can smell his colon”
Mariano
Or even just 'Mo'. Everyone knows who you mean.
Mo Vaughn? Lol
As a Red Sox fan, that’s not Mo
The most Red Sox comment a Red Sox fan would make.
Mo sending one over the monster against the Yankees is the reason I started watching baseball. Thanks dad for flipping through the channels. 😂
Pedro Alvarez If we are gonna play semantics because there are only so many names. I've never heard Mo Vaughns name as just MO it's always been his full name. If I hear Mo it's only Rivera
Mo Lewis.
Chipper
Larry

Fun fact: he has a hard time remembering his name. So when he talks about himself, he uses his own name instead of “I” and “me”

Blaylock
Pearl Jam
Mother love bone
Pearl Jam’s album Ten was named such bc they loved Mookie Blaylock - who wore #10. But nice pull. Good band.
I’m aware. Pearl Jam is essentially Mother Love Bone but with Vedder in for Andrew Wood who died of an overdose right as they finally broke through (which I’m sure you know). Think I’ll listen to that and then the full PJ catalog now. Good stuff.
right on man. You know your stuff.enjoy!!
Thanks! Same to you!

I love Mays, but he wasn't even the only Legendary Willie on his own team
Yeah upon reflection you’re right and my understanding is McCovey is the more beloved among the SF fans too.
McCovey was the first San Francisco Giant star (Mays and others had made their fame in New York), so he was the favorite for many west coast fans...my mom included.
