Maybe someone can help me find it: Rick Reilly wrote an awesome poem using baseball players' names for SI several years ago. Of course, now that I think about it, I'm not sure it wasn't Steve Rushin.

Do the Rangers fans have as much "fun" with their second baseman's name (Rougned Odor) as we do with ours?

I haven't gotten close enough to verify whether it's a fitting name or not.
