Boob and Dick Fowler have sophomorically funny names.
Boob (aka Joseph Chester, aka Gink), an infielder, played for the Reds and Red Sox between 1923 and 1926.
He has a career .326/.348/.406 line in 181 plate appearances, add in his defensive contributions and he was worth .7 WAR over his career. Perhaps he should have been given a shot.
Dick (aka Richard John), was a pitcher for the Philadelphia A's from 1941-1952. He has a career 66-79 record with a 4.11 ERA in 221 games and 170 starts covering 1303 innings. He led the league in losses in 1946 with 16. On September 9th 1945 he pitched a no-hitter against the St. Louis Browns. Dick had 7.7 WAR over his career.
He's also the grandfather of Khalid Ballouli
Boob and Dick do not appear to be related.
Interesting it will be to see how many Google hits this post gets.
