Maybe not the strangest, but as a kid this one always cracked me up:

Biff Pocoroba (my alltime favorite)

Cal McLish's full name is Calvin Coolidge Julius Caesar Tuskahoma McLish.

From today's players, Coco Crisp is hard to beat.

From the world of college basketball, my all-time favorites are Nebraska player Cookie Belcher or Florida A&M (I think) player Scientific Mapp.
