The Baseball Fury

Interesting facts about Ugueth Urbina:

-he is the first player in major league history to have the initials UU.
-he is the first player in major league history to have the initials UUU. (Urtain)
-he is the first player in major league history to have siblings whose initials were all UUU. (can't find them, but I swear it's true)
-his mother got kidnapped last year.
-he was charged with attempted murder today.

According to espn.com, these charges "obviously hurt his value on the free agent market." No kidding.

But seriously, isn't that U thing weird?
