We’ve written about the anagram battery of Cosart and Castro.
We’ve written about those players whose last names are anagrams for other players.
Now we’ll take it one step further, by presenting those players whose first and last names, combined, can be anagrammed into other players’ names.
You’ll note that some players have the same exact first name, but anagrammed last names. A couple of groups consist of “flip-flops” of first and last names (Gorman Thomas and Thomas Gorman, for example).

Was Gary Gray the only player whose name was an anagram of himself?
