A.J. Pierzynski = the Polish Prince, Dennis the Menace (my personal fav. for him)

 

Dennis the menace will always be George Brett. As big a Sox fan that I am He is one of my all time favorites.

 

"Million dollar" Floyd Bannister

I've been trying to get T-Paine for Tony Pena to catch on. 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"

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.
