Mariners Name Quiz

So I'm listening to this insane Braves-Astros game on the radio, and idly looking around the Mariners roster, and as the game gets more and more insane (I've been listening since the 8th inning, and we're now cusping the 18th. Who was that masked man and what did he do with the real Kyle Farnsworth?), to distract myself I notice that some Mariners have some pretty wacky middle names. Therefore, I will share with you, in the form of a multiple-choice quiz! If you're also a roster junkie like me, this'll be pretty easy. I'm too lazy to go write a cgi-thingy to score it or anything, so hopefully the "cut" tag will work and hide the answers.

Answers...

Answers:

1 - d. David Andrew Hansen

4 - a. Ryan Ray Franklin (3), as opposed to William Paul Bloomquist (4), Julio Cesar Mateo (5), or Raul Javier Ibanez (6).
