Sometimes sports stars have really funny names or nicknames,
in the 40s, the NY Rangers, looking to replace their regular goalie ( Who was fighting in the war ); took on the worst goalie in the history of the NHL...Steve Buzinski, who will be forever known in NY as " The puck goes inski, Buzinski" ! As for real names, what Blue Jay fan could ever forget Rance Mullinks and Garth Iorg?? so, can you think of any funny named , or nicknamed players in sport?

( of course, the nicknames dont HAVE to be funny, cool is good too )
