One of a kind

[Guest SwitchHitter]

I was looking at SteveJRogers' list of WS game winners and saw Waite Hoyt. I then wondered if there'd ever been another player named "Waite". And then I thought of the alphabetical threads in the non-baseball area. So I wonder if we could compile a list of guys who have unique first names in baseball. No Nomar as that's his middle name. I also discovered Chico Salmon, who's name is Rutherford Eduardo Salmon when I wanted to pull up Ruth. Cy Young is the only Denton. Moises Alou is the only Moises.

Anyone think of anyone else?

There's only one Alois Terry Leiter.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I bet there's only one Kristin.

[Gwreck]

I'm guessing there's also only one Lynn.

[Valadius]

Actually, there have been a few Lynns.

Lynn McGlothen was an All-Star pitcher in 1974.
Lynn Jones won a World Series with the Royals in 1985.

[Valadius]

There's only been one Quilvio.
