So what did the BJ stand for then? Bundle of Joy? Baby Joe?

Bossman Junior.
Bossman Junior, apparently a nickname his dad gave him.
The change will still leave him irrelevant in the baseball world unlike Giancarlo. Batting .198 the past two years will do that to you.

Wow, that's bad bad news for us married guys.
Our wives will be able to taunt us with the "NO MORE BJ" Triple Threads card topps will undoubtedly make.

I'm sure the Braves are checking to see if the invalid Signature can somehow Void that terrible contract...

LOL, but to the Braves' dismay, Upton signs all legal documents with his birth name, Melvin, like the printed signature on his Bowman rookie that came from his Topps contract:I'm sure the Braves are checking to see if the invalid Signature can somehow Void that terrible contract...

Funny of the day
Around 2005, Locker Room Memorabilia, did a signing with Upton, where he signed a bunch of ROMLBs with his full name ("Melvin Emmanuel Upton") on the sweet spot. There's one on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=230941726445&alt=web
I remember hearing back then, though I don't remember who said it, that Upton had said something to the effect that he hated his given name and was never going to sign it again. Given that, I'm curious what the reason is for the 180.
As an aside, Upton's dad's nickname was "Bossman," hence "Bossman Jr.," i.e., BJ, for his son. Not that Jr. has lived up to the name.
