Jed Lowrie and Brett Lawrie are now teammates, creating MLB’s most impossible tongue-twister

We begin in 1962, when the Mets employed two pitchers named Bob Miller (this one and this one).

Unlike Lawrie and Lowrie, though, they couldn’t have taken the field at the same time, and last names weren’t yet on the backs of jerseys — bullet dodged. …

They already had another pitcher named Bobby Jones on the roster.

Though they had different middle initials, the two simply wore “Jones” on the back of their uniform.

So, when you start cursing the heavens after mangling “Laowrie” for the 10th time next season, just remember: It could always be much, much worse.
