How well do you know your Cubs greats?

[WearingTrousers]

This isn't really the hardcore baseball talk that you can find in other threads on this board, so if thats what you're looking for, just move along. :)

My brother and I started listing some past Cubs players from our childhood's (past 5-10 years) and we were amazed by the number of players that had the same letter starting both their first and last names. Soooo, here's my question, how many past Cubs can we come up with that have the dublicate letter first and last name.

 

I'll start us off with an easy one and a not so obvious one:

 

Sammy Sosa

Gary Gaetti

 

Anybody care to entertain me with more names? :wink:

[Derwood]

Antonio Alfonseca

[Omar]

Matt Murton

[Ding Dong Johnson]

The whole "Cubs greats" and then listing Gary Gaetti threw me off.

 

Jacque Jones

No one mentioned Matt Mieske?

If you need one for "G", there's always Cub great Geremi Gonzalez.
