One of the Mets' top prospects (actually, he's probably the #1 guy in their farm system), who was just called up, is named Lastings Milledge.
I was wondering what was up with his first name, and Dodger broadcaster Vin Scully told the story behind it today: Lasting was the 3rd of three children and his parents had decided he would be their last child and named him accordingly.
Now, his name is very cool and has a nice ring to it, but stuff like this just sucks when you're growing up. Still, at least he isn't named Gaylord. (Do people still use that term? I haven't heard it in precisely that form in 15 or more years.)
