Dennis Rodman has had notable NBA achievements and played on championship teams, but the man whose autobiography I would pay to read is his father, Philander Rodman, Jr., with whom Dennis was recently reunited (after a 42-year separation) in the Philippines (where his father lives in Angeles City, just outside of what used to be Clark Air Base in Luzon). The elder Mr. Rodman, who operates the Rainbow Obamaburger restaurant in Angeles City, has acknowledged fathering 29 children by 16 different women.

Apparently, Fox Sports, which originally posted the story. (And, also, apparently you, since you bumped the thread back up to the top of the discussion board with your post. :) )

The Rusty Kuntz pic brings back a memory. Must've been 1979 or 1980. Kuntz was just up with the White Sox. I was with a couple friends in Comiskey sitting near the opponents bullpen. Larry Sorenson was going to pitch for the Brewers and had just started warming up in the bullpen. The announcer read the White Sox lineup and when Kuntz was announced, in mid warmup, Sorenson stops, burst out laughing and almost falls on his a$$.

Major league hurler and pitching coach Dick Such. An interesting tidbit from Wikipedia:

In his second season in minor league baseball, 1967 with the York White Roses, Washington's Double-A Eastern League affiliate, Such allowed only 108 hits in 128 innings pitched, hurled eight complete games, and compiled an excellent 2.81 earned run average — but he also piled up a frustrating 0–16 win-loss record.

Dick Pole was the pitching coach for the Reds for a few years until recently. I always wanted to hear the Hall of Famer Marty Brennaman say something like, "And now Dick Pole comes out for a visit..." but to my knowledge he never did.
