Slam Binkie.
To be honest, I’m not a big fan of this whole “throw an L into a real world thing’s name” as a one off joke. It’s overdone, and misses the original point of the “L” in Blaseball (a portmanteau of “blood” and “baseball”). If we’re going to rename the character, it’s important that we complete the work to make the name include “blood” in some way beyond just the “L” - such as “Slood Hinkie.” And make the fanfiction associated with the page very overtly bloody in some way (Much as with blaseball, which has an blood house and incinerations).
I don't know if upping the blood is useful to the character at hand. Though I agree with just throwing L into a name has lost meaning.
We could keep the first name of Ham and change the last name to something silly like Pinkie or Binkie that fits blaseball overall while following Wiki rules.
Sam "Reinforcing Rod" Hinkie
