It hasn't really taken off quite yet. Added a new section for it, and my idea, Albatrios. Also, I want to put down "Laundry Baby Pimp" for Juan Uribe, because that's what my sister-in-law heard when my brother said "Juan Uribe is a Pimp!" Edit: Juan Dog came from the new numbers thread. It's better than Lance Johnson's idea of "Little One Dog" Edited February 15, 2010 by Quinarvy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not really. I grew up in the late 70's and 80's, and many of those players had Chris Berman/ESPN nicknames. Didn't take too long to find most of them on the Internet...and those teams from the 70's/80's kind of are forgotten around here because most of the posters are probably 18-26, if I had to guess. It was kind of fun to look at all the old names and try to remember them all. I used to have Strat-O-Matic for the 1980 season, haha.
