Because he was "tough as nails".And I'm sure that taking steroids and going from a 160 pounder to around 200 helped make him even tougher.

He was a hard-nosed & intense player, yet a small guy who was given his name because he was as "tough as nails".

he used to always dive for balls and run into the wall in the outfield. he tried so HARD all the time that they said he was "hard as nails". thus the nickname, "Nails".
