Can you tell Dabs, Mudcat and Shug from Cookie, Catfish and Boog?

 The Everett Collection

Classic TV character actors had all kinds of kooky names. Some of them were perfectly tailored to their frequent appearances in Westerns while others were simply family names that you don't hear every day.

Another realm of pop culture with a penchant for strange monikers was professional baseball, especially in the 1960s. Players had all kinds of nicknames.

Here are the names of classic TV character actors mixed with some of the memorable MLB ballplayers of the 1960s. Can you tell who is who from the names alone?

  1. Yogi Berra
  2. Slim Pickens
  3. Hank Aaron
  4. Ernie Banks
  5. Dabbs Greer
  6. Cookie Rojas
  7. X Brands
  8. Nellie Fox
  9. Chill Wills
  10. Scatman Crothers
  11. Boog Powell
  12. Cactus Mack
  13. Mudcat Grant
  14. Minnie Minoso

  16. Catfish Hunter
  17. Shug Fisher

"You got 16 out of 20. Did you get all of them or were the right answers kinda… Slim Pickens?"
Yogi appeared on Bilko in a very funny episode.
Several Dodgers appeared uncredited on The Rifleman. And Mister Ed had a slew of Dodgers appear
when Ed attended batting practice and hit a inside the ballpark home run.
They put a dead horse on a pallet and dragged it to home plate when Mister Ed "slid home".

This movie one of the best by a long time director. You know him very well indeed. The main actor is truly magnificent in all types of movies. Co-actor with a short cinema career taking marriage and house wife as top priority. Other actors not only in movies but TV series and shows that lasted decades. This movie one for the dramatics, suspense and crime. If you have not seen it then you are out of the classic movie loop one would think. If you have then now owning a copy as soon as one of our posters get it.
