@Sanguine
In all fairness, with several of those players their names were more colourful than they were as players.  Dick Starr, to name one, wasn't even half the pitcher a name like his suggests. (Once, as a St. Louis Brown, Starr and fellow former Yankee spare part pitcher Karl Drews instigated a wild beanball war against the Yankees with Tommy Byrne---not exactly the most colourful name---forced to retaliate.)

But since you mentioned Dick Trickle the race car driver, I'm put in mind of . . .

Preston Tucker v. George Stutz

The only thing that could make it worse is if you had to live in Houston.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
