More useless sports trivia

The Minnesota Twins have signed veteran second baseman Mark Grudzielanek, 39, to a minor league contract. In a 14-year career with five different teams, Grudzielanek has a .290 lifetime batting average as well as the third longest last name in Major League Baseball history. Grudzielanek's twelve letter last name is behind only:

Jarrod SALTALAMACCHIA (14 letters in last name)

William VAN LANDINGHAM (13)
Todd HOLLANDSWORTH (13)
Steve WOJCIECHOWSKI (13)
