white sox jake burger athletes with last name of burger

After watching Jake Burger's Grand Slam at Sunday afternoon's White Sox game, we were highly taken by his unusual last name.  How many professional athletes in the World have the word "Burger" in their name? 

So, in honor of Jake Burger's phenomenal winning performance against Detroit, we decided to make a list of the Top 50 professional athletes with "Burger" in their name.  (We've highlighted Jake's name as a reference point.)
