Are you by any chance a Jordan Jesse Go listener? I had never heard of McLish before and he just came up on the show yesterday as an example of a fake sounding name for a baseball player.
- saghm 5y agoNope! I actually haven't heard of that (I assume it's a podcast; I don't listen to any personally). I just grew up a big fan of baseball, and since my dad had always been as well, he shared a bunch of knowledge with me directly and through various books I read as a kid. I'm honestly not sure how exactly I first heard of him, since I was so young when it happened.
- slg 5y agoYes, it is a relatively niche comedy podcast so it isn't that common to run into fans outside of that niche. But on the other hand I'm also a baseball fan and hadn't heard of him until yesterday so it was a little surprising to see his name again immediately. Plus the story of his name is too memorable for this to just be the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon. Just a funny coincidence I guess.
