Paying homage to some of the great "names" in the history of this great game.
Each player profile within has the following:
- general demographic information (name they played under, their full name at birth, date of birth/death, years active in the majors, positions played, etc.)
- etymology/definition of each part of their given name
- baseball biography (generally, how they made it to the majors, what they did while they were there)
- best day (a recap of a great day in their major league career)
- the wonder of his name (why his name is memorable)
- not to be confused with (names that sound and/or look like the player's name)
- fun anagrams (anagrams of their given names, just because)
- ephemera (factoids, tidbits, trivia about the player, details regarding their parents, their family and their life after baseball)
