Randy Johnson.

"Hey Beevus! Randy Johnson is also the Big Unit. Heeeh heeeh heeh heeeh."

OK, I'll be the kinky one. . . Bonds.

For awhile, the Mariners had the trifecta of homoerotic names:

Randy Johnson (the Big Unit)
Junior (Griffey)
A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez)

They're all gone now, of course.

Among the current Mariners, there are a couple of potential nicknames. Ben Davis could be "Ben Dover" and Greg Wooten could be "Woody". The closest we've got now is J.J. Putz.

Brian Johnson, formerly of San Fransisco and San Diego goes by BJ. Some of the players called him 3-piece tool set for some reason.
Atlanta had BJ Surhoff alst year, and still has Bobby Cox.

Gotta be former Cub and Royal Pete LaCock... with a name like that he should have taken up a career in gay porn after he retired.

WhiteSoxMan, and for you trivia buffs out there, Pete LaCock (with his blond curls) is the son of the long-time host of the original Hollywood Squares game show, Peter Marshall....I know, that's useless info, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway.

Another semi-homoerotic name was former Astros infielder Jimmy Sexton....even as a kid, one of my (straight) friends always referred to him as Jimmy Sex-machine -- must have been because of his innocent cute looks.

Does Chuck Knoblauch's nickname "Knobby" count?

i guess it might if you're a Soprano-type who uses "knob" to replace "dick"...

for me, the most homoerotic name is not a pun. It's just simply, Tino Martinez (with Jim Edmonds a close second)

oh yeah, Oilcan Boyd, now there's a mental picture.

so catcher
how 'bout knob lock? Is that Chucky's specialty?

If we can count nicknames, we have a new entry in this contest: Ichiro "Balls" Suzuki. Apparently that's the nickname that Bret Boone has given to Ichiro. Hmmm. I wonder why...

Seattle Times article on Ichiro

How about a Randy Wolf who's also a lefty.

OK, without a doubt, the best "gay-type" name in baseball has GOT TO BE

OK, without a doubt, the best "gay-type" name in baseball has GOT TO BE (drumroll, please) the St. Louis Cardinals Albert Pujols (pronounced poo-holes). As a top, I can't think of anything more attractive than albert's poo-hole. Sorry to be so graphic, but just had to post this one!

Sterling Hitchcock.

I'd like to Pat Burrell on the butt after he and Jose Cruzed to a tie in homeruns and the game. These are two HOT outfielders.

Okay so it's a bad pun. No law against it right?
