baseball....names that be-dog me

There are times when baseball players' names STICK IN MY HEAD. It's quite bizarre. I'll be doing some everyday activity, like the dishes, or laundry, or I'll be at work at the restaurant, scraping the leftovers of some person's meal into the garbage, or making a martini, and I'll just hear random NAMES, in my head. In a sing-songy, chanty, mantra-ish sort of a way.

Here are some good-ies (and they usually have their own special soundtrack, inside my brain):

A.J. Pierzynski

Thank you! I've wondered what to answer when the "hobbies" question arises. Now I finally have the perfect response: My Hobby is listing catchy baseball-player-names alphabetically by given name.

oh, and about that. I'm not freakish enough to have alphabetized those "freehand". I used an alphabetizing program, a free download I got through searching Google. I didn't want to ruin the flow of the names by putting surname before given name. So there you go, oh surly one.
