Many have the same names as places on a map. Tennessee Williams. Handsome Dick Manitoba. Jesse Ventura. Texas Guinan. Indiana Jones. Randy California. All famous, or notorious, for doing something. By themselves, their names make you want to meet them, or wish you had.
Al Alburquerque is close enough. If your name is over ten letters long, one extra won't keep you off the list.
He came in with the bases loaded and one out in the eighth, with the Tigers down 6-5, struck out Sean Rodriguez, and got Sam Fuld to fly out.
That made it possible for Alex Avila's second homer of the night, in the bottom eighth with Jhonny Peralta on, to be the eventual game winner.
