Some names are cool - "Joe Table" is "Jose Mesa" in English.
Others are weird and kind of creepy - like Jeff Russell, who was apparently known in the Rangers clubhouse as "Rubbs".

My college roommate was named Joe Table. Having lived in Cleveland all his life, it was a pretty awesome name to have. Outside of 1997 I guess.
