Tim Teufel

Not obscure, but my friends and I thought it was so great that Steve Sax's last name was so similar to sex.

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.

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