Jamie Walker Names His Kid Jim Leyland

Found May 31, 2007 on The Futon Report:
PLAYERS: Jamie Walker,  Joe Louis
TEAMS: Detroit Tigers,  Baltimore Orioles

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Jamie Walker ? formerly of the Detroit Tigers, and current procurer of all things NASCAR and generic-brand beer ? became a daddy for the fourth time back on Memorial Day. Due to a coincidental clash of family names they really liked, the kid is now named Jim Leyland Walker. At least it's tenfold better than Tressel Hayes, Crimson Bryant, and Joe Louis Arena combined. But in the future, if Mr. and Mrs. Walker decide to have more children ? there's a Groucho Marx joke in there somewhere (or not) ? and they decide name his children after other people in his past, he has plenty of ways to conceal the source.

The Pistons tried to play the nostalgia and emotion card last January, when they brought Chris Webber home to finally realize his dream of playing NBA ball in Detroit. And it worked, for a time -- until...
