Boof's name

Pardon me if you already know this but I've been wondering about it all year, and espn finally cleared it up:

"Bonser, for the record, legally changed his given name, John, to his childhood nickname, Boof, in 2001."

p.s. The Twins are within 3 of the division lead! And Liriano pitched three perfect innings in AAA! Woo-hoo!

coincidence?

I read the 'Boof is on Fire' quote in the Detroit Free Press after following a link there from Twisgeek.com.

Hmm.

Well, I've been thinking it for awhile anyway. I doubt I'm the only person to come up with this one...
