Default Baseball Nicknames

Posted By: ErikV.


I'm impartial to the Black Sox. So here we go:

Pitcher "Knuckles"
Centerfielder "Happy"
Firstbaseman "Chick"
Leftfielder "Shoeless"
Shortstop "Swede"
Thirdbaseman "Buck"
Pitcher "Lefty"
Manager "Kid"
and Owner "The Old Roman"

Heck, even the Gamblers had nicknames:

"The Little Champ" Abe Attel
Joseph "Sport" Sullivan
"Sleepy" Bill Burns
"Prince Hal" Chase


Other scandalous players in baseball include:

"Shufflin" Phil Douglas
Phillies coach "Cozy" Dolan
and who can forget "Charlie Hustle" Pete Rose!!!
