so ruff. first line in the link about Paul

Josh Paul, best known for rolling the ball back to the mound while the eventual winning run reached base for the Chicago White Sox in Game 2 in the AL championship series..

I am best known for nothing, but its better than that.

Josh Paul has become the 21st Century Mickey Owen.

Angel fans may make him the new Buckner (if they actualy followed the sequence of events without Tim McCarver's help). :)

Schlichting has sported a 9:2 consonant-vowel ratio in his last name since birth.

But his splits are even better than they first appear. He has an 8:1 ratio based on the number of different consonants and vowels in his last name.

5.   Humma Kavula
7:1 according to the recount.

Rich was distracted by the monotony of the vowels in his own surname.

7.   Rich Lederer
After having a good laugh in response to Bob Timmmermannn's comment #6, I hereby declare myself a winner based on a 3:1 ratio of different consonants and vowels over the 4:3 ratio of the mann himself.
