The Tigers recently called up Alberto “Al” Alburquerque.
That man’s parents had absolutely the right idea. If my last name were Alburquerque, which sadly it is not, I would name my son the same thing and my daughter Alberta. Al is a 24-year-old pitching prospect from the DR, and I wish him a long and productive major-league career. It’s also at times like this that I fiercely miss Bob Sheppard. How much do you wish you could hear him say “Now pitching for the Detroit Tigers, Alberto Alburquerque”? I would cut off a toe.
Not only does the name roll off the tongue, but it gives me an excuse to link to my favorite clips from one of my favorite movies, Billy Wilder’s inky-black and still alarmingly relevant social and media satire, Ace In The Hole. Sadly the clip can’t be embedded, but check it out:
“Even for Alburquerque, this is pretty Alburquerque.”
The longer Al stays in the majors, the more often I get to say that, is the way I look at it.

[1,3,4,5] I immediately thought of the same song. What a great album.
"I don't expect people to listen to my music all the time. Sometimes it's too intense. If you're gonna put a record on at eleven in the morning, don't put on 'Tonight's the Night'. Put on the Doobie Brothers." - Neil Young
