Rick Ankiel first_name comes up as Richard. Not sure if you are using a library to interpret first names, but this could potentially be an issue.

You probably want &quot;display_name&quot; instead. See also <a href="/api/issues/103">/api/issues/103</a> From the API documentation: first_name Player's legal first name. Keep in mind, some players are commonly known by their middle name, nickname, or shortened version of their first name
