BROOKS LEE WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE A BALLPLAYER

In another lifetime, Twins shortstop Brooks Lee wouldn't have been named for Orioles Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson. Instead, he would have been named after Cardinals basestealing legend Lou Brock. Only problem: Then he would be named Brock Lee ... you know, like the vegetable.

"Both great names, but I'm happy I'm not named Brock," Lee told Alanna Rizzo with a laugh recently. "I get called it from time to time."
