After Michael Vick left last night’s game with a head injury, the Eagles turned to a quarterback named Mike Kafka. The broadcast didn’t make nearly enough jokes about his name.

In 2006, I watched a pitcher named Ari Kafka enter a game for the Everett AquaSox of the the Northwest League. It was the AquaSox’ season opener, and Kafka faced several hitters and left without retiring any of them, finishing the day with a rather Kafkaesque infinite ERA.

*- I don’t think this is actually a word. Is there a verb form of metamorphosis, or is it just morph?
