Sitting in the medical centre reception looking at the board to see when they want me for blood tests and there's Dawn Safari and Gordon Success-Brooks ahead of me. I wish them many more dawn safaris and much success.

I thought for sure that MLB: The Show was making up the name "Mookie Betts" when I first encountered it.

Standford Mann sounds like a guy who was born 45 years old and balding. Come out the womb with lumbago rear end name.

A lot of them sound like the names of kids I went to Rudolph Steiner school with in the '90s. The centre of the Oklahoma vs Hippy venn diagram.

Yeah, this came up in another thread and someone had figured it out. Basically, take some NHL rosters from the 90s, translate them to Japanese, then from Japanese back to English with all the quirks that can entail, throw a few slight changes and tweaks, and you end up with Bobson Dugnutt. fartknocker posted:They always were real, they're all names of NHL players from 1993 just run through a few layers of translation:

Bobson Dugnutt is inherently one of the funniest names in existence. It just makes me laugh, and I can't even articulate why, but it makes sense given that its apparent real-life inspiration (Ron Tugnutt) is already pretty funny.

The one that gets me is 'Todd Bonzales' and like, it's only one letter away from a completely normal common name, and it kills me for some reason.

Yeah, Fighting Baseball is actually MLBPA Baseball. It was made by an American dev for EA. Their MLBPA license didn't extend to Japan so when they translated it they just messed around with the names in various ways. The same dev had made the annual EA NHL game that year so they just used the roster names they already had for that before mucking them up a bit for some, and for others they'd pair 2 MLB teams and swap stuff around between them. They figured the Japanese audience wouldn't know any better.
