It didn t take many brain cells to come up with that. The Muscle Branyan hit a walkoff moonshot off of Rick Loco Ankiel in game 7 of the World Series. I want to see Bazooka Brad Radke throw a laser beam past Ben Boom Boom Grieve. The Gooch Johnson at home plate. I want to witness the first no-hitter pitched by Tomo The Dragon Ohka.
Baseball needs nicknames.
So here is my challenge to all the true fans of the game. Adorn your favorite players with inspired titles. You may christen them with a handle that will last through the ages. I ll embrace them and spread the word. Of course, there is one player whose nickname I will never use.
