I'm not talking about just names that get attached. I'm talking about nicknames that actually get used more than the real names.
For example, Reggie Jackson was often referred to as "Mr. October", but sportscasters still called him "Reggie".
I had to look up Jim Hunter's real name, because I've only ever heard of him as "Catfish".
Those are the kinds of nicknames I'm talking about.
So I left off some great ones.
Notables:
Al "The Mad Hungarian" Hrabowski
Reggie "Mr. October" Jackson
Ted "The Splendid Splinter" Williams
Pete "Charlie Hustle" Rose
Mariano "The Hand Of God" Rivera

I voted for other because William Wilson wasn't on the list. You might know him as Mookie.

I myself voted for Spaceman Lee, because A) it's a way cool nickname, and B) if you know anything at all about that cat, it's a PERFECT fit.

[Pun]

I'm with Solly on this one. Although I was torn between Mookie and Pokey Reese


Although, I think nicknames are making a comeback recently. See, Logan, Nook, Crisp, Coco, and Bonser, Boof.

[Lucky]

Who says they went away. You got Clemens and Pokey up there. You forgot Nomar. Sparky Anderson, Kiko Calero, Doc Hallady, Doc Gooden, El Duque, Pudge, King Felix, Junior Griffey, Chipper Jones, Trot Nixon, Boomer Wells, Woody Williams, Dusty Baker,

Your list is invalid. There's no Yogi on it. Or Casey. Or Whitey. Or Goose. Or Scooter. Or Bucky. Yankee hater.

You also forgot Dizzy Dean, Cap Anson, Lefty Gomez, Lefty Grove, Satchel Paige, Duke Snider, Rube Waddell, Honus Wagner, Cy Young, Hack Wilson, and Sparky Lyle.

Or how about some guy named Babe?

You disgust me.

[Jack Quinn]

I am voting other for Three Finger Brown


I hope The Flyin' Hawaiian Shane Victorino catches on

Yankee hater.

I agree.

PRONK!

Pronk is an awesome nickname just for how bad it is. But I'm still convinced that 4 out of 5 baseball fans have no fucking clue what you're talking about when you say it.

Then again I'm willing to bet that 2 out of 5 of those same fans have no idea who Hafner is.

Oh shit. Don't let Solly see that. You know how he feels about poo-holes.
