You may have seen the videos the Twins made this spring titled The Escobar Name Game, in which Eduardo Escobar struggles to come up with the names of his teammates.
(If you haven't, visit here and here. It's worth the time.)
Escobar is far from being unique in his inability to remember names. Babe Ruth was notorious for that as well.
When longtime teammate (and ultimately fellow Hall of Fame inductee) Waite Hoyt was traded away from the Yankees, Ruth felt he had to say something in farewell. What he came up with:
"I'm going to miss you, Walter."
