Not only is Mordecai a kick-ass name, but his parents also managed to get Centennial in there since he was born in 1876. This is, arguably, the greatest name of any American athlete – nay, any American, athlete or not – ever. Also, you have to respect those amazing stats coming from a little guy. I might even look big next to Mordecai. Plus, he pitched for the Brooklyn Tip-Tops and the Chicago Whales. You just have to admire that. I think I just found the name for my future son…
