The Everett Collection
Classic TV character actors had all kinds of kooky names. Some of them were perfectly tailored to their frequent appearances in Westerns while others were simply family names that you don't hear every day.
Another realm of pop culture with a penchant for strange monikers was professional baseball, especially in the 1960s. Players had all kinds of nicknames.
Here are the names of classic TV character actors mixed with some of the memorable MLB ballplayers of the 1960s. Can you tell who is who from the names alone?

"You got 16 out of 20. Did you get all of them or were the right answers kinda… Slim Pickens?"
Yogi appeared on Bilko in a very funny episode.
Several Dodgers appeared uncredited on The Rifleman. And Mister Ed had a slew of Dodgers appear
when Ed attended batting practice and hit a inside the ballpark home run.
They put a dead horse on a pallet and dragged it to home plate when Mister Ed "slid home".
