> [@jtur88](#): > > Brett Butler’s “Grace Under Fire” was popular when Brett Butler was a LA Dodger outfield star. But CNN’s Robin Roberts came decades after the HoF career of Phillips pitcher Robin Roberts. Cardinal outfield star Terry Moore was never mistaken for Oscar nomminee actress Terry Moore. Eva Longoiria and Evan Longoria had contemporaneous careers as actress and ball player. Huh. That lineup could do a kinda sorta reboot of _A League of Their Own_. ---

I always wanted to see Julie Brown and Downtown Julie Brown wrestle for exclusive use of the name. Not sure if either of them is using it at all. At one time (early 80s), there were four or five concurrent Larry Kings: the interviewer, the playwright (_Best Little Whorehouse in Texas_), Billie Jean King’s husband, and a jazz musician. ---

I forgot to mention that Terry Moore’s namesake Terry Moore was once married to Rams running back Glenn Davis. Not the same Glenn Davis who had roles in Jericho, the Unit and 24, and not even close to Glenn Close (nor Geena Davis) ---

As long as we’re branching out… There should be a band called **Dave Stewart**. Guitar: Dave Stewart (Steve Hillage) Keyboards: Dave Stewart (Egg, Hatfield and the North) Bass: Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) Drums: Dave Stewart (Fish, Camel) They still need a vocalist. I wonder if Dave Stewart the baseball player can sing? ---
