B-Ref Search Yields Encouraging Results
A search at lucky-best Baseball-Reference turns up this meadow of delights …
I have hopes on this day. Chief among them is that “Abner Deatherage” (the lilac hue of his Information Hot Link betrays my curiosity) is not, as the lamewad rationalist within suspects, pronounced “Abner DEATH-ur-ehj.” Instead, the Walter Mitty star-gazer part of me — which I keep buried in my tattered and smelly idiot’s shoe (I own but a single shoe) — hopes that this fine man’s name is pronounced “ABNER DEATH-RAGE” — every syllable accented because every syllable will wreck that shit.
It simply must be.
It simply must be.

Forget Deatherage. I’m terrified of anyone named Abner to begin with.
