The Los Angeles Dodgers ran a recent promo that featured a drawing of third baseman Justin Turner, who was decked out in a beret and robe while holding a paintbrush in front of an easel. The legend identifies Turner as “The Ingenious Dodger”, an allusion to a character in the famous novel by Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist.

For all of us who catch the reference right away, I offer you a comprehensive list of baseball players who share a name with a character from Dickens’s writings.

First base: Wally Pipp

Young Lou Gehrig replaced him for what was supposed to be one day, but history tells us that the Iron Horse remained there for the next 2632 games. In the good novel High expectations, Pip was the protagonist to whom he bequeathed a fortune from an unknown benefactor.

Second base: Jason Bates

He played five seasons for the Colorado Rockies in the 1990s, while Charley Bates was a member of the gang of robbers in Oliver twist.

Shortstop: Barry Larkin

The Hall of Fame shortstop spent his entire career with the Cincinnati Reds. Miss Larkins was the first love of David copperfield, a beautiful girl who ended up marrying a soldier in the book.

Third base: Tommy Lastella

With a combined .284 average over the past two seasons, he helped the Chicago Cubs win back-to-back National League Western Championships. When you drop the first letter of her last name, it matches the snobby girl Pip falls madly in love with. High expectations.

Left field: Danny Heep

Uriah Heep was an employee of Mr. Wickfield in David copperfield, while the baseball player was a constant hitter for the Astros and Mets during a ten-year career in the majors.

Center field: Fred Snodgrass

He spent nine years primarily with the New York Giants until he left the game in 1916, and Augustus Snodgrass appears in The Pickwick Papers as a member of the club named after the title of the novel.

Right field: Al Oliver

As if his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates hadn’t been impressive enough, Oliver went to the Texas Rangers and captured the American League batting title. His last name, of course, is the young Mr. Twist’s first name in the title of the Dickens novel that became a big hit on Broadway.

Receiver: Bill Plummer

Dickens The cricket in the home focused on the Plummer family, and in the 1970s Bill served as Johnny Bench’s backup on the Big Red Machine.

Starting pitcher: Bob Sykes

He was a southpaw who played for both the Tigers and Cardinals in the 1970s and ’80s, while Bill Sikes was a boy Oliver Twist struggled with but later became friends with.
