Soxfan in Fla said:Going by Melvin or any other name is not going to help him magically hit a baseball.
His father is Melvin Emmanuel, so yes he is a Jr. Manny was his dad's nickname.Bosoxen said:To recap:
-BJ was short for Bossman Junior (Bossman was his father's nickname).
-His father's name is Manny, meaning Melvin is not a Junior, at all.
Conclusion: He's a super, raging douche. But we knew that already, so nothing's really changing.
And there's this, too.

He must have thought it an upgrade from a manual job to a BJ.
I hope he names a daughter Abbey. Then she'd be
Upton, Abbey.
