I know baseball teams don't really put initials on the back of uniforms anymore, but I kind of want to see the two first names on their backs when they're both up here.

They'll have to go to the third letter in their names, Joh. and Jor. or something like that.

I thought that initially, but since it's only one letter off of John's name, I figured "what the hell? Go all the way."

Thats why they have numbers.

The Bears went full names with Tom and Tony Carter, even though they could have just gone Tom and Ton. Carter.

That said, I have a feeling they'll both just say Danks.

I'd like to see them go with first name over the last name a la Jack/Jim Youngblood when they both played on the Rams.

True. Even then it's still quite a few letters shorter than Saltalamacchia.

Even Isiah Thomas had that at one time.

I believe this is how they handled it in Spring Training.

I don't think spring jerseys have names on them.

How about this? John wears 50, and Jordan wears a different number.

You know how much lettering is these days? Have to dump Dunns salary to afford that!

Maybe we'll just worry about it further if Jor-Danks sticks around for awhile...... Unless of course in a play-by-play we hear:

'Fly ball to center, Danks comes in, makes the catch, runner at third tags, here's the throw, cut off by Danks, Danks throws to second, over the head of Ramirez into CF, Danks gets the ball, throws to third, gets by Hudson, but backed up by Danks to avoid further damage.....'

Ugh... never mind....
