Watching the Little League Baseball World Series today, we couldn't help but notice the disproportionate number of players in the game named Trey.
Georgia has a player named Trey Maddox, and Iowa has Trey Creighton and Trae Cropp.
Yes, Cropp, a pitcher, spells his name differently. But the presence of several boys whose names are all prounounced the same, all in a single ball game, got us wondering whether, ten years from now, we'll be watching Major League Baseball games populated by vast numbers of Treys with increasingly ingenious (or is that ingenuous) spellings: Tres, Tray, Treigh...
And of course I find it amusing that, in this game, there were three.
