If it were Z you could use it, but now you used the D so we can't use Zach Duke.

Ed Acosta

[ACrank]

Terry Forster - he and Gossage in the same pen for one year!!!

[ACrank]

Would Ginger Beaumont count? His given first name was Clarence (says something of the times when someone replaces his name Clarence with the knickname Ginger).

[soberdennis]

Hal Smith

I would accept both nicknames(if that was what he was best known as, Ginger Beaumont, but not "pops" Stargell cause everyone knew him as Willie) along with the actual first name.

[Bucco Fanatic]

Ian Snell

i figured theres enough "S" names that it wouldnt hurt if i stole one for sake of a first name

Sammy Khalifa - possibly the most famous Egyptian in MLB....

and i'm skipping ahead to L for sentimental reasons:
