Let me start.

Julio Franco

Who is apparently 4th all time in # of games played without appearing in a World Series. 2 of the guys above him played in the 80s.

How are Alan Trammell, Kevin Mitchell, Jose Canseco and Julio Franco obscure?

Anyway I nominate Jeff Kunkel... growing up I thought that was the funniest name I'd ever heard.

Jim Gott

In German, Gott=God and Teufel=Devil. At one point in their careers, it was pointed out that the Devil was 2-4 with a RBI vs. God for his career.

Re: Post the name here of a random 1980s baseball player
 

Teufel finished 2-9 with 2 BB and a homer against Gott, for a .222/.364/.556 line.

I'm old so I'm going back farther than 1980's.
