Now Can told me he had trouble with this one, as he was close to naming the entire late-90s and early 00s (what are we calling this decade? we still haven't figured that one out yet, eh?) New England Patriots secondary (Ty Law, Lawyer Milloy, Assante Samuel) or anyone of the new hybrid NFL Le-names (Ledamlian, LeMarcus).
He finally came to a choice though, and I fully endorse it.
So without further delay, the third Oil Can All-Star is...
BOOF BONSER!!!!!
You've just been boofed!
Boof has been Boof since 2001, when he legally changed his name from John Paul. Maybe he didn't like sharing the same name as a famous steamship captain. Or he must of thought his named sounded too pope-like. And when someone hears Boof, I'm sure they don't think Pope. To me, Boof seems like a verb an immature person (totally not me) would use to describe coitus.
I did a google search for the word Boof. It brought up a kayaking and cold-weather gear company, and the last name of feminist author. Apparently, a boof is a wheelie in a kayak. I have no idea how this pertains to the pitcher, Boof Bonser.
Bonser has been a major league pitcher with the Minnesota Twins since 2006, when his great name broke into the bigs and had a nice little run. Since then, his weight has ballooned and Boof's been bounced to the bullpen. The Jays beat him up quite memorably during their impressive August/September run. I took no pleasure watching Boof berated.
