The funny names post reminded me of one we did a long time ago. Players with names that were also body parts.
A few I remember thinking of back then,
Rollie Fingers
Bill Hands
Barry Foote
Pete LaCock

Bryan LaHair
Chase HEADley
Ricky Bones
Walter "No Neck" Williams
Lenny "Nails" Dykstra
Corey Hart
Rick Ankiel
Shin-Soo Choo
OK, so I stretched it a little with Ankle.
Peter LaCock is actually two in one!
And a bit of trivia, he was the son of Peter Marshall of Hollywood Squares fame.

Shin-Soo Choo
A body part, a train sound, and a sneeze wrapped up in one name.

Following up, in french, the OOH LA may have been taken out to shorten the name.
In which case, Peter is a very fortunate fella.
