A partially-researched list of notable bespectacled hurlers:
1) Eric Gagne
No amount of goggles could ever persuade me to pronounce his name the french way. Hear me now Eric Gag-knee, I shall heckle you in my native tongue.
2) Brandon League
He’s become such a celebrity in the Seattle area that locals have taken to substituting his first name for his last in normal conversation as in, "She's out of my Brandon" or "20,000 Brandons under the sea."
Correction...no one does this.
3) Duaner Sanchez
Officially recognized as world’s most successful person named Duaner.
4 )Lee Meadows
Lea is a synonym for meadow. So he’s Lee Leas, kind of.
5) Greg Maddux (didn't wear them on the field of play)
If he didn’t look like George Costanza we would have put his dominance in more forceful terms.
6) Ryne Duren
Turned vision impairment from ridiculed handicap into frightening weapon of unintentional destruction.
7) Tom Henke
Didn’t mess around on the mound, didn’t do no henke-panky.
8) Jim Konstanty
He was a nerd, but he was our nerd.
9) Tyler Clippard
Nerd.
10) K-Rod
His frame's sharp edges give him a decided advantage in hand-to-hand combat.
11) Brendan Donnelly
