by norcalfan on Feb 13, 2007 2:24 PM PST

Hey all! if you read my profile you would see that the first non-hospital blanket to touch my young fresh born toosh was an A's wrap. Never thought it would happen, but here I am. My wife and I are expecting a new young bouncing (no I won't actually try it,) baby boy in May! How perfect, right in time for the thick of baseball season! So here is the deal........I need a boys name. I wan't to hear what creative names from Athletics history I can use! My wife, having been with me ten years has become an A's fan and therefore knows most current and past lost stars so lets skip the decade or so. Here are my front runners but I want to hear yours!!

1)Dennis.....would this make him an alcie and help him recover?

2)Carney.......just wait for high school

3)Walter.....again just bait for sschool

4)Dave.......not bad CF and P, two stars covered but plain

5)Catfish........wifey didn't dig this one too much

So let me have it AN, help name a new A's fan for life!!

Well one thing we do know

is that even if they did name their child Okland, people would still spell it Oakland.

Right, Houston Street?

Along the lines of Bill King tribute

It would be a nice one to name the kid Toledo. And then the kid has built-in insurance against getting reprimanded, because how mad can yuo be after yelling 'Holy Toledo!' ?

I think we should have a poll on what not to name the kid ...

Derek
Francisco
Bartolo
Kirk

are the first names I can think of.
