Oddball Collection (aka The Mordecai Brown Collection)

[Garistotle]

The Mordecai Brown Collection has a certain focus and is subject to change at any time. See if you can identify what's unique about each of these players (except Sadler - that one's a stretch, no pun intended)...............

Shortest last name ever, longest last name ever, heaviest player ever, tallest player ever

Re: Oddball Collection (aka The Mordecai Brown Collection)

I'll play!

Hu: Shortest name of an MLB player
Salty: Longest Name
Young: Largest size jersey
Rauch: Longest jersey
Sadler: Smallest size jersey

So coach, how'd I do?

Re: Oddball Collection (aka The Mordecai Brown Collection)

Shortest last name ever, longest last name ever, heaviest player ever, tallest player ever - Yes, we have a winner!

Chin-lung Hu - shortest name ever (now tied with Fu-Te Ni of Detroit)
Saltalamacchia - longest name ever
Walter Young - 322 lbs, heaviest player ever
Jon Rauch - 6'11'', tallest player ever
Sadler - 5'6, shortest recent player I could think of

I would also be interested in jerseys of the following players:
Antonio Alfonseca
Jim Abbott
David Aardsma

and of course, there are the untouchables:
Mordecai Brown
Eddie Gaedel
Pete Gray

If anyone has any additional ideas for my collection, please share your thoughts.

Steiner has a Danniel Ray Herrerra jersey for another 5' 6" jersey

There was recently a Fu-te Ni jersey available via MLB auctions.

Re: Oddball Collection (aka The Mordecai Brown Collection)

What size is the Young jersey?

Re: Oddball Collection (aka The Mordecai Brown Collection)

Without doing research, I'll guess oldest - youngest might be Minnie Minoso and Joe Nuxhall.
