What is the most obscure baseball name from the past you can come up with right now?

LOL, can't beat Dick Pole. Seriously though, I'll go with Oil Can Boyd, although I'm not sure if that was his real name or not.
 
Jim Lindeman

...probably worse than the fact that he is "obsure" is the fact I once had him on a fantasy team...
 
Carmen Fanzone.
Much better trumpet player than ballplayer (played with Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass)

And having played high school ball with Jim Lindeman, I resent him being called "obscure".
