Guest Anglesault Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 The title is pretty self explanatory. Baseball has had it's share of really good nicknames in sports, from the Scooter to Charlie Hustle and everyone in between. What is your favorite baseball nickname? Personally, I'm still waiting for a nickname to match up with The Chairman of the Board.
Drury37 Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 "Donny Baseball" for Don Mattingly. Thanks.
HarleyQuinn Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 "Teddy Ballgame" for Ted Williams "Rocket" Roger Clemens "Big Unit" Randy Johnson
Drury37 Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Add "Rocket" for Roger Clemens for that list for me. Thanks.
