Apropos of nothing, are you prepared for the coming Braxpocalypse?

Screenshot from Fangraphs. The suggested names from the search bar show 4 Major League Braxtons, with another 7 in the minors, and 3 more in college. Of the first 21,575 players in MLB history, 0 were named Braxton.

i was literally at a AAA game last night and there was a "Gage Workman" in the lineup. I'm not even gonna hate, that's a hell of a name.

MLB just rostered the first "Bob" in 15 years. Never give up hope. (Personally, I'm rooting for a "Vern.") www.mlb.com/news/long-lo...

I saw that dude earlier this season in Durham and can say that he is the Bob-est Bob that ever Bobbed. Not since Bob Horner have we had such a Bob.

I was there for his MLB debut in SF, and I can say that he certainly appeared to be Bob-tastic. Top-shelf Bob.
