One appropriate (Sila: morality, the Second Bhumi discipline) answer might well be Foxx (old double cross, memories, dreams and reflections of Ahab Mc Gaff and the Double Cross Saloon), who did play first for the old A's and later the Boston Red Sox; this rhymes with Redd Foxx, who also carries a double D, the double letters being in a special category, relating them to twins and to the constellation Gemini, the Janus, Hinge, Carmenta, doppleganger, doin' it wit' mirrors, polishing the face of the Crystal Mirror, looking into the Purity and innocence and whiteness as of the great Whale, as of the purity and clarity of the mind of the child, the clean tabula rasa, the pure delight of the open, clear, Maha-Ati state of the children of the present generation.
