Japanese Baseball Game American Names

Japanese baseball game fake American names consist of Mike Truk, Shown Furcotte, and Paul Ling. These were created by tweaking names of famous sport athletes.

Some of the names are close to the names of real people, such as Dwight without the H and Hernandez or Fernandez named Sernandez. Further, some were taken from real baseball players outside of MLB.

For example, Dwigt Rortugal, the starting pitcher for Cleveland Queens in the video game, was a professional baseball pitcher for Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in 1986.

Other names were created by using the actual last name of sports athletes with some letters tweaked and paired with the first name of a different athlete. Bobson Dugnutt, one of the fan-favorite fake names seems to be derived from Ron Tugnutt, a former ice hockey goaltender of Peterborough Petes.

Similarly, Mario Straherry appears to be a name created by merging the names of former Marlins infielder Mario Diaz and Mets right fielder Darryl Strawberry, with some tweaking.
