Guest Orangeboy Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 I was hoping you guys could come up with some I forgot. I did a little research on where "Oil Can" came from and beer is called oil in his Mississippi hometown. Oil Can Boyd sound a little better than Beer Can Boyd. ;D
2throwrundown Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 what about pudge? Pudge Fisk or Pudge Rodriquez?
bullets13 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 what about pudge? Pudge Fisk or Pudge Rodriquez? either one, actually. i like both of them.
Guest Orangeboy Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Gotta love "Big Poppy" Yeah that's a great one too. Back in HS we had a guy we called BPC for bull-pen-catcher.

adminbaberuth Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 "spaceman " Bill Lee and "Mr. Cub" Ernie Banks
2throwrundown Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 The Nasty Boys from the Reds teams. Cool Papa Bell comes to mind as well
Guest Orangeboy Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Back in HS we called Dan Fletcher "Sperm Frog"
Ruckdad Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 "Cool Papa" Bell is one of my all-time faves - and I am also a fan of Honus "The Flying Dutchman" Wagner as well.
DoctorSamson Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 I have to say that "The Babe" and "The Wizard" are my two favorites, but I may be biased because I'm just a fanatic of the two players. Sperm Frog? I'm glad I didn't go to your high school.
Interested Observer Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 My favorite player was Will " The Thrill " Clark
