What are your favorite baseball player nicknames? And do you have suggestions for new ones or maybe a nickname for a player on your team that didn't make it national?
My all-time favorite is probably Teddy Ballgame. It left nothing to the imagination, it told the whole story.
Also, one that I can't believe didn't catch on was Craig Biggio "Pigpen". They guy is always dirty.
Anyhow, what do you got for me??

One of my favorites is for Mike Hargrove (now managing the Mariners). When Mike played for the Indians back in the 70s, he as called the "Human Rain Delay." Mike had an elaborate ritual he performed each time he was in the batter's box- for each pitch!
He's a great guy, too. We loved him in Cleveland!

Jim Thome - Mr. Incredible. After seeing a picture of Jim Thome and Mr. Incredible (from the movie The Incredibles), they are splitting images of each other.
