The Sports Name Game, Part 21

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Part 20 has been closed. Thread #21 is open.

Basic rules:

• This is a continuation from the prior thread.
  
• Use a sports figure whose first name or last name matches the prior post.
  
• We will allow for slight modifications in names (Viktor/Victor) but prefer to use names associated with the athlete (Johnny Bench more so than John Bench or Michael Jordan more so than Mike Jordan).
  
• Pronunciations matter: Derek Roy and Patrick Roy are not a match. Slight variants in pronunciation will be allowed.
  
• Names can be repeated in the thread but not in the same sequence.
  
• This is not limited to athletes or team personnel. Names of sports complexes and teams can also be used. Houston Antwine and Houston Astros is permitted.
  
• We also allow fictional pop culture characters to be used but only if a photo accompanies the association. For instance, Jamie Farr (Max Klinger on M*A*S*H) was associated with the Toledo Mudhens enough to have matches in either his actual name or character's name.
