That would be one of the oddest baseball names ever. And it would play well in New York, where most of our citizens have funky names that come from when this city used to be the melting pot.

If Horatio Lipschitz or Dewey Zuverinkster played like Derek, the fans would find a way to chant his name.

It’s the whole 4 syllable thing really:

Joh-nny Day-mon
An-dee Pet-it

But at the same time:

Bu-bba Cros-bee
Kel-lee Sti-net

It’s luck of the draw really. If Horatio Lipschitz or Dewey Zuverinkster played like Derek, the fans would find a way to chant his name.
