Ryan Longwell is the perfect name for an NFL kicker who is 22 out of 36 on field goals of 50+ yards for his career.
Grant Balfour is also pretty apt for a MLB pitcher who has walked 4.7 batters/9 innings in his career. Bob Walk on the other hand only gave up 3.3 walks/9.

Reggie Cleveland, sadly, never played for Cleveland. Darryl Boston never played for Boston. Martin St. Louis does not pay for St. Louis. A shame, really.
I am pleased to note that Angel Moreno played for the Angels.

In the English County Championship, Nick Derbyshire played for Essex and Lancashire, but not for Derbyshire. And John Hampshire played for Derbyshire (and Leicestershire and Yorkshire) but not Hampshire. But Oswald Lancashire did indeed play for Lancashire.
