Having garnered considerable online fandom, the curious player names of Fighting Baseball (previously) have since been researched in depth by redditor Cincinnati Redlegs, who has since published a spreadsheet of the complete list of player names.

I have always loved those off-kilter names, and this research is awesome and hilarious!

I don't think it's widely enough known that a great many of the last names are from hockey players of the era (presumably something like NHLPA 93), with one or two letters changed. If you think Dugnutt is a great last name, the actual guy was even better - Nordiques/Sens (and others) journeyman goaltender Ron Tugnutt.

It is inevitable, now, that one of my tabletop RPG sessions shall introduce an NPC named Sleve

As far as I am concerned Bobson Dugnutt is the best right fielder baseball has ever seen.

There's probably enough input there to train a GAN on.
