Eric Plunk was traded for Ricky Henderson. Twice. In 1151 innings pitched, he hit 32 batters. Baseball Reference does not track how many of those 32 HBP provoked sports journalists into puns.

Another entrant for the “amazing names” and “no frills” categories. Mr. Nelson pitched for 13 seasons, three of which as an extremely effective set-up man for the pennant-winning A’s teams of 1988-90.

And don’t forget to vote for the 2009 Nerd All-Star Team.
Not to be confused with Bruce Bochy, the manager of the San Francisco Giants. In researching the nerds that I post, I rarely find a player whose career takes more than a few minutes to digest. However, in the case of Mr. Bochte, there is a LOT going on. He made the all-star team in 1979. His career OPS+ is 113, over the course of almost 6000 plate appearances. However, Mr. Bochte off the field seems to be a fascinating character.
