Bizarro poll: very few professional ballplayers have shared their first or last name with a month. Who's the best?
Javerro January | 12 (16.67%) |
Lee May | 33 (45.83%) |
June Greene | 3 (4.17%) |
Don August | 19 (26.39%) |
Other (who?) | 5 (6.94%) |

Apologies to folks like Phil Marchildon, Jerry Augustine and the great Willie Mays ... who don't quite qualify ... And no apologies to Reggie "Mr. October" Jackson or Derek "Mr. November" Jeter, as nicknames just don't cut it!
January certainly has the best name on the list. I voted for him.
It's not quite in the same league as rookie All-Name Teamers Randor Bierd (of Baltimore no less) and Jair Jurrjens, but it's pretty solid.

As someone who shares the last name August, I cannot begin to explain the impact Don August had as a model and hero to all of us who have months as last names.
I implore you, on behalf of Augusts everywhere, to vote for Don!
