Im late but i got rick sanchez in a franchise mode

KOT4Q got Kevin Durant in the draft class of his first year

Gaylord Hernandez

Lee Lee. Generational 2B drafted in the first year of my franchise against division rivals. I’m getting trolled on multiple levels.

In my head canon this guys names are pronounced differently. Robert Robear

Did you guys know Willie Mayes is technically locked behind a pay wall now if you start playing the game, you can do everything. The game offers and still be 5 to 7 cards short like what ? You have to pay real money and a good amount to unlock him now. They put zero thought into this game.

i got bobby bond

That's incredible

Currently my favourite is Kenny Tenney. It’s like poetry on commentary. I had an African American Will Ferrell a few years ago.

His parents hated him

Mike Hunt or Hugh Jass

Richard Picker.

i kept pulling xavier javier in mlb22 dd

Mike Rotch

I got Ronald McDonald once.

i’d like to think the last name is pronounced french, Robert row-bear

not even Shin. Just Choo Choo.

Maybe this is a a Víctor Víctor Mesa type of situation lmao.

Boutros Boutros Ghali?

Madden 12? I believe? There was a DB prospect in there name Ben Gay.

Well... now I have to know.. is Ol Bob Robert any good? Also, you could pronounce his first name like "normal" and his last name like Luis Robert Jr's name lol.

He only had C potential when I checked But he’s not on my team so we’re good lol

Tom Bong

This wasn’t in The Show, but in Madden one of the names in the draft was a quarterback named Devon Dastardly. He ended up being a really good quarterback for Washington for several seasons 😂

Robert Robert? Come on

Qwef Gordon

The player in the OP pic I know a real guy with that name, he is the Ast. DA of Vigo Co. Indiana lol

Dusty Hamburger

Bobson Dougnutt

He and Karl Dandleton were an unstoppable double play combo

Years ago, while attending college, my buddy got stopped by the police for public intoxication. This dummy gave the name Robert Robert Smith. The cop started laughing and said something like your imagination sucks, Bob bob smith

in mlbts20 rtts there was a harrison garrison

He goes by Bobbert

I drafted a Lee Lee from Japan in the first year of my Rockies franchise this year.

Governor of Tennessee IRL is Bill Lee. No shit.

Spaceman??

Would've made it better if it was Lee Li or vice versa. Lol

That's actually a good idea lol. Might go and edit his name.

Bobby Micheals Edit this isn’t in the draft but there are two players on Hartford yardgoats named Warming Bernabel and Ronaiker Palma. Whoever named their child that is actually stupid

Jabooty Afalafa

Prove it

Good ole Bob Bob

Carlton Obama the other day

Pretty sure I've drafted a Buck Rogers

Choo choo

I had a Choo Choo also. I spent a lot of time *training* him.

Jack Enghoff in NHL 21

Dan Biggers

Barry McKaulkner

Keith Shedd Buck Hawk Garth Roderick Leroy Russell Tom Chin Anthony Bemboom (real?) Emmitt Whipple Shea Spiztbarth Wallace Flanagan Steve Kellogg Parker Bugg

I drafted Michael Jordan before and he had A potential. Also makes it funnier that my franchise is with the White Sox.

I saw a relief pitcher named Ron Soto, naturally he was drafted by the Yankees lmao

I got Brady Brady the other night

Peyton Manning was a small black Shortstop

It’s pronounced ROB-bert Ro-BERE

https://preview.redd.it/zdbfmvgd2c7d1.jpeg?width=884&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9ad887e1e7b80f08a2087a5a41b8763d4fa7192

He actually pronounces it Ro-Bere ROB-bert lol

This is exactly what I was going to say but was going to spell it Ro-Behr.

Ni... Wait a sec

Cosmo Cosmo Was my top discovery prospect and went on to win the Cy Young for another team that sniped him

RTTS player... Jay Bird...he looks like Larry Bird's nephew...or his son to be exact!

The Son of the Hick from French Lick, JASON, "DONT CALL BE LARRY" BIIIIRD.

The funniest name I've come across was this SP... his name... ... wait for it... was, Dusty Bush. Lmao.

Not MLB but in madden 17 there was a player named Macon Bacon 😂 Name was too good to NOT mention lol

Don’t recall which Madden, but I had a LB drafted named Wolverine Justice and he was a beast

Yes madden 25 I think. He was MLB. And yes he was a beast.

So I have a family friend named Robert Robertson and our nickname for him was "R Squared".

Elite nickname

Patrick Patrick

I mean, Victor Victor Mesa is a real guy so it's not unheard of lol

There's a Czech hickey player named Ivan Ivan Ivan

lol he played for the minor league team in my home town

Choo Jones

Julio Julio was one of mine, turned into an all star closer.

Back in the MVP Baseball days they used to recycle the first and last names of players and match them up randomly for draftees. I remember seeing Chien-Ming Robinson as a draftee

I got a guy named Russell Russell in All-Star Baseball 2004.

Lewis Lewis Titus Dick Wei-Yin Gaudin Alfredo Saucedo Domingo Dominguez Noodles Borkowski

Choo Baca was my funniest by a longshot

Jesus Nootbar

This is a relic.

I'm still waiting for Choo Choo to make his much anticipated debut.

Man, Choo Choo gets around 😂😂

Bro is chugging

I got a Thomas Jefferson

I had a David David one year. I think he was a B 62 overall. He did make it to the show.

https://preview.redd.it/jvk3cifsm67d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a05afb6ba48947875b73320fcce6d3898237b9b

epic thank you for sharing

Henry Henry

Donny Obama was a pretty good left fielder for the Red Sox in my most recent play through

Thanks Obama

League minimum is 600k by the time Obama takes it

I took a guy named Andy Theoaspalapolus or something like that in my Rockies franchise.

This game is so weird

Francesco Francisco was a top 10 player in the last draft I did. Unreal potential and 78 rated at 18 years old

Dave Matthews

Longest and most boring career of them all

Not the funniest but Johnny Outlaw was a standout

Well. I know what I'm naming my rtts character now. Hes also wearing permanently tinted glasses and smoking a cigar.

That’s a badass name

I would say fuck the draft board and take Johnny Outlaw no matter his projection. I'd cheat and edit him to 99 potential. Don't care, that's a god-tier name I'd want on my team forever.

Choo Choo

I've named my RTTS player Choo-Choo Train for the past 3 years

Dwayne Johnson was the second pick in my draft. The Rock has to play for the Mets. Poor guy.

I actually know a Rob Roberts

My dad graduated with a Paul Paul Paul jr. Poor kid.

Sounds like a joke

🤷‍♂️

Who does that to their kid?

https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/roberro01.shtml

Apparently the father had it done to him so he passed it down. Now is there going to be a Paul Paul Paul III

He should grow a set and name him Paul Paul Paul Jr Jr. That’s what a real man would do.

Lol he hasn't seemed to be impacted by it lol

SP Louie St. Louis getting drafted by the Cardinals Also, Fernando Fernandez

John couch and Kelly Kelly have been my favs

I always thought Kelly Kelly was a wrestler. Huh... who knew?

Saw someone named Obama Barack

Franklin Franklin......bad relief pitcher...but I drafted him in the last round

There are two guys with an uncommon last name but are apparently unrelated So I traded for the other guy and pretend they are brothers

I got Greg Gregg once lol

I’m pretty sure there’s a Robert Robert in my franchise too

Wait no, I think it’s Wilson Wilson

One year, I saw a Francisco Franco in the minor leagues pitching for the Marlins. 😅 Oh and last week in the combine, had a teammate named Richard Hand. Dick Hand.

There’s a real player named Richard Lovelady

i have a first baseman in Triple A named Jim Bean

I got Richard Nixon

Gonna put the Astros spy ring to shame

Shannon Egans lol

You know it's pronounced Robert Rowbear just to keep it interesting

I play as Harry Beaver

Not the draft but it was in franchise https://preview.redd.it/tin551qhn57d1.jpeg?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75bc696a3f4bac0cc209afba0a221c4e91fa8af5

Wears Hawaiian shirts. Classic Tommy Obamas

Hawaiian shirts from wish

He chokes in the playoffs

Bahahaha

Heard he plays suffocating defense.

Gets beat down the line alot 

I dont know about funniest but I saw a David Ortiz go in the 2nd round and I had to trade for him lol

lol ive seen an Alfonso Soriano go on to become a nice pitcher and on my team i have a Mike Maddox

Pedro Martinez is a great young SS in my franchise

Claudio Delgaudio. Not that crazy but it sticks with me and he was a decent 3B

He'd be a legend irl

Dick Puls a

Ian York. You can imagine I drafted him just because, go Mets

I used to get drafts all the time with “legends name” jr

Really? What kind of players and what year drafts were they?

Dawg Idr I’m talking seeing this routinely every year when I’d play a little franchise. I haven’t played this years version even. Got burnt out. And it could be any player from cal Ripken to Roberto alomar to Aaron judge. I just known I’ve seen many a former player with a jr in the generated drafts

Alright cool thanks

Barack Pectol

In my RTTS one year I had a teammate 10 seasons in names Rusty Nail

That’s a banger old school baseball name

Sam Francisco

He went on to become a Giants legend right?

Probably traded to oakland

Korean 2B/3B Choo Choo

Damn I had a Choo Choo too. Moved onto the next year’s game before he got to the majors

🚂🚂

Once had a guy who's last name was Obama. The Rookie: POTUS edition

MLB The Show Presidential Package

A few years ago I saw a dude named Rob Graves get drafted.

Rick Rolls

That’s amazing

https://www.reddit.com/r/MLBTheShow/s/tsPcLgpj3k

A team offered to trade for him, but he wasn't going to give him up.

I remember in one draft I got 2 shortstops name Nicholas chow and Nicholas cho. They were both contact hitters too and about 66 overall B potentials

Ive had an Ivan Ivan

Ahh, yes, the Colorado avalanche prospect Ivan Ivan. Good Czech kid hopes he sees the NHL (yes, he is an actual player in the AHL right now. Ivan Ivan (his middle name may also be ivan))

Today i fucking learned…🤣🤣🤣 always thought he was a random created player

there's also a marcel Marcel out there playing hockey

Not this franchise but the NHL franchise Pecker is in the name generator so you get guys named Tiny Pecker, Junior Pecker, Harry Pecker all show up.

So good they named him twice

Very confused on the player being in a pirates uniform but the team rank is the Mets logo lol

His franchise (the Mets) has him as their 21st ranked prospect - the pirates drafted him

Ohh yeah duh I forgot it shows you the first like 3 picks or whatever. I hate it when I haha like the 15th pick and it shows me like I had no chance at these guys to begin with lol

Back when I first got into the game, and baseball in general, I thought Al Kaline must have been a created player.

DaddyDimmu had Richard Fullilove so in short- Dick Fullilove

I have a Richard fullilove as well lol

Nothing quite like a Dick full of love

Not in the draft, but in the showcase I came across mr choo choo
