It's the Name Game - NYTimes.com March 1, 2012, 12:36 pm A slugger by any other name is still a slugger. The Marlins player formerly known as Mike Stanton figures to still hit long home runs now that he's going by his given name, Giancarlo. Of course, Stanton's name change isn't nearly as controversial as that of the former All-Star Fausto Carmona, or as silly as the pronunciation alteration done to Joe Theismann's moniker when he was at Notre Dame. But it did inspire us to recall some athletes who changed their names mid-career, from Joey Belle to Willie Hernandez to the accent-adding A.J. Duhé. Can you think of others? Or better yet, without being mean, can you suggest some name changes for some current athletes? O.K., maybe just a little mean.
