Former SF Giants pitcher - William Van Landingham  
Drewcon40 : 10/23/2014 4:45 pm : link
Van Landingham was widely considered to have set the record for longest surname in the history of Major League Baseball, at 13 or 14 characters (depending on whether one counts the space), though his record has since been tied or broken (again, depending on the reckoning of the space) by Jarrod Saltalamacchia. When Van Landingham pitched to Todd Hollandsworth in 1995, the two set a record for longest combined pitcher-batter name length (since at least 1957) at 26 letters.[1] On May 29, 1996, Van Landingham started against Jason Isringhausen, then a starter for the New York Mets, tying a record[citation needed] for the longest combined names of two starting pitchers.

Van Landingham also set the record for longest complete name in Major League Baseball at 20 letters. The record has since been tied by Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
I like him a lot

I think it's safe to declare Locker a bust?
I liked Mettenberger in college.

We'll see how he stacks up at this level. I'm glad he's getting a shot.
