For the past 2 years of my life, I have played baseball at Texas A&M Corpus Christi for the Islanders. Although I have played with teams in various sports since I was 4 years old, and met all kinds of fascinating people in my life, I have only recently had the pleasure of having David or “Itchy” Burts as a teammate. Watching him excel as a teammate, student, and person has been nothing short of an honor for any person involved with our team, or university. With that being said, our beloved Itchy has graduated from Corpus Christi, and after the conclusion of our season is looking to join the workforce, with a hopeful career in mechanical engineering, under the name of David. Understanding that Itchy has only been a nickname his entire life, stemmed from a simple imitation of a batting stance from Hall of Fame baseball player, Ichiro Suzuki, I believe that it is time to suggest, nay, demand that Itchy be written under formal law, as Davids legal name. I hope that you will sign under this petition to support David, the four time, reigning champion of the “Best Name in College Baseball” and urge him in the direction of legally changing his name to Itchy Burts.
