Guest Anglesault Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
