Best sports name ever: Olu Babalola

Young man playing for Clemson. Unfortunately, neither his stats nor his size make him a candidate for the NBA exactly, but he seems like a fine young man. Had they knocked off the Tar Heels, you probably would have been hearing his name a lot more today. I listened to the game on the radio and took childish delight every time his name was mentioned.

Ok, the floodgates are open; what do you think is the best sports name ever?

1. Napoleon Crutchfield

I don't know who he played for, but it was college football some time in the mid '80s. I heard it on a morning show once, and thought damn he's got some wacky folks.
