Thoughts: Does the name J. Hutt ring any bells? If I’m not mistaken that was Buhner’s alias in the 2nd greatest baseball game ever made, Ken Griffey, Jr. Presents MLB. They weren’t licensed to use real names, except for Griffey’s, so every player was given a fake name. Seattle was unstoppable with Buhner, Griffey, Tino and Edgar Martinez, and the speedy Mike Felder on offense and Randy Johnson, Chris Bosio and Norm Charlton shutting down the opposition. He also has a great nickname.
