Reason for unusual first name

As Washington is the only major league player to have initials as a first name, I think it would be useful if the reason for this was included in the article. Asd36f (talk) 11:24, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a good reason to deviate from MOS:INITS here. 162 etc. (talk) 16:20, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
