It would. And Ronald, the player, goes from Junior to II. So do they update his jersey in that case? This is the dumb **** I think about at 1 in the morning.

really?
my dad was a Jr. and then named me the same thing as he and my grandpa, and I became the 3rd, and he remained Jr.
i thought it was only the 2nd if you weren't named after your dad, but your grandfather (or someone else in your fam who isn't your dad).
ie your grandfather's name is Joe John Smith, your dad's name is Joe Jacob Smith, but then your parents name you Joe John Smith, after your grandfather. that makes you the II, not a Jr.
i could be wrong but that's been my understanding.

It's refreshing to be 'that' team.

Freeman, Ozuna, and Acuna rank 2 through 4 in the NL in WRC+. And we were worried about replacing Donaldson. The three-headed monster this year is just insane.

And Ozzie is coming on like a freight train.

I just googled that **** and looks like your right. I'll stick with stats from now on.

I think II can also be used if the first named matches the father's but the middle name of the child is not the same as that of the father. Very rare, but I know of an instance where that is the case. Otherwise, your definition fits what I've always thought common practice to be.

Interesting season for the Braves. Top half of the line-up has been golden. Some fits and starts, but when it's hitting on all cylinders, it has been a thing of beauty. Can't say enough about Freeman. He's a great offensive player and I think the league recognizes that, but he does it all without that much flair so much of his greatness is overlooked by the casual fan and the media.

Ozzie's left side hitting was making big strides at the end of last year and it's gone to the next level this year.

George HW and George W?
is George W the II?
 
Was anyone worried about Ozzie. He is an elite player and just needed to be healthy. Playing him where he was hurting so bad that he didn’t switch was boarderline moronic.
