Jolly, do you have a photographic memory for words? The way you pull names out of your fingertips so fast reminds me of my brother - he's like a walking dictionary.
@@J_T_H He’s playing in the Mexican League for the Algodoneros de Unión Laguna. (Which seems to be a pretty good team) He’s middle of the road in qualified 2nd base OPS and dead last in qualified 2nd base batting average.
I can't speak for Jolly, obviously, but I know I credit sports for helping me know how to spell and/or pronounce people's names, especially Latino names. For example, there was a catcher named Doug Gwosdz, who briefly played for the Padres in the 1980s. I always remember how to spell it because it had a strange pronunciation ("GOOSH") plus its seemingly random array of consonants resulted in the nickname "Eyechart." Every now and then, knowing some obscure athlete from the past impresses someone because you can spell or pronounce their otherwise unusual name correctly with no help. "Wow, no one ever gets that right." "Hebert? I figured you might be related to the QB New Orleans had when I was your age." On the flip side, there was an episode of Seinfeld when Kramer mentioned one of his friends, Corky Ramirez. But he pronounced it weird: "RAM-uh-rezz" instead of "rah-MEER-ezz." At the time, my kneejerk response was "Dude, have you really never heard of Atlanta Braves shortstop Rafael Ramirez? Or Cleveland outfield Manny Ramirez?" Looking back, no, not surprising that Michael Richards struggled with an even slightly ethnic name.
Some people are just really good at it. They see it spelled once and it gets implanted in their brain. I'm pretty good with spellings but I'd have needed a few tries for a couple of these guys
16:52 yes Maldonado hit a few homers. Think it was 2022 where every game he hit a homerun the Astros won. Edit: oh yeah and yes Jed Lowrie did play in the majors in 21 and 22 he just didn’t hit enough homers to be on this list I guess.
I am shocked I got to 161 on my own. I did get Urshela and Cabrera and peterson that you guys did not get. I also should have had Biggio, but I can't spell it.
Ryan is such a unit. what a great addition to these vids
You should slide in his DMs
@@nicholaso4302lol
"Back in the big leagues Abreu" 😮
Ryan was actually very close Myers had a 959 ops in 2020
I know a quiz that would stump you guys. Guarantee you won’t get 50% percent. It’s called Most home runs in a rookie season.
Make this the pinned comment
Gorman hit a grand slam while I was watching this video.

WIL MYERS LET'S GOOOOOOO
This is such a solid crew. I definitely think they know ball.
No, Dalton, you don't get to claim Wilmer. He's ours.
Jonathan Schoop has fallen off the face of the earth.
That's true cuz I have literally no idea where he at now

Dalton is swimming in that jersey.
21:39 …..Cabrera?!?!
glad im not the only one who thinks all those cardinals are the same. also all Rays pitchers are interchangeable
I truly feel the Love!!
Maybe you have answered before, but how in the world does Jolly know how to spell all these names?

Not getting Aaron hicks or Gio Urshella working for an office fills of yanks fans hurt my soul lol
I was screaming Urshella for the last 5 minutes.
Ahh, I wanted them to get within fifty.
These are so fun
Looks down and says Andrew Vaughn 👀
Shoutout to John Buck…Royals legend.
Screaming Gunnar the entire time 😅
How'd you not get Pujols?
they did
I am shocked I got to 161 on my own. I did get Urshela and Cabrera and peterson that you guys did not get. I also should have had Biggio, but I can't spell it.
Love all of the Jomboy stuff, but if they don't stop Dalton from saying "... vehicle" I may blow a gasket
This seems like a womp womp vehicle
Sheets and Vaughn are NOT the same wtf😂
Do the 2010s one
Future all star ummmmmmmmmmm
not being updated for 2024 halfway through the season really threw me off
You guys are doing this wrong. You just start typing in all the starters and then go fill in the blanks that don’t fit.
How is Tony Womack not on here
Probably because he retired 13 years before 2020
@@QuarrelsomeLocalOafnah he’s still active playing for the AA Montgomery Biscuits face ahh
