In 1987, your author—already by then the sort of pedantic, know-it-all 7-year old who would someday go on to write sports trivia quizzes about spelling—won a bet with his babysitter (and a trip to play Pac-Man at a local arcade) by betting her that, yes, the Minnesota Twins first baseman really did spell his name like that. One can imagine a similar bet being made about a Pro Bowl QB (who was also a Super Bowl winning backup) about 15 years later. Identify and spell both athletes in question, both of whom might’ve benefited from The Onion’s memorable notion of an emergency deployment of vowels during the 1990s crisis in Bosnia.
