Who has the best name in baseball?
Cast your ranked votes for the three best names in Major League Baseball history. Whether retired or active, the name of any Major Leaguer who played or coached professionally in the National League, American League, or Negro Leagues is eligible for consideration as you fill out your ballot.
Using a weighted ranking system, the names with the highest aggregate point totals across all ballots will receive the highest overall rankings. The first-ranked name on an individual ballot receives 4 points, the second-ranked name receives 2 points, and the third-ranked name receives 1 point.
If you don't see one of your favorite players listed, nominate their name for consideration in a future round of voting.
