Why Succession fans think a 1920s MLB player shaped the series finale

WARNING: SUCCESSION SPOILERS AHEAD! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THE SERIES FINALE!

Ready?

Let’s go.

Names from Succession have always been a big part of the characters they belong to. I mean, we’ve been talking about how Shiv will shiv one of her brothers for a while, right?

And in the series finale, a name that we may not have thought about much with a sports background turned out to predict who would end up at the helm of Logan Roy’s company.

Tom last name is Wambsgans. Thanks to a video that’s making its way around the internet on Monday after the finale, it’s the perfect name for the man who is now CEO: Bill Wambsganss was a second baseman for Cleveland. Why is he famous beyond that?

Triple play. Get it? YUP. WILD!

Check this out and the reactions from people who realize the surname predicted everything:
