OT words from player's names, eg "Ruthian"
Alright. I was flipping through the cable possibilities and hit Burns' Baseball, the 7th inning, watched about 3 minutes, about Stengel. Robert Creamer considered hiim the most intelligent baseball man he'd ever met, second most influential person on baseball, behind Babe Ruth. Then they mentioned "Stengelese". And that had me wondering what other words we have that come from player's names.
Ruthian - as in a 'Ruthian shot'. A long, high, arcing, distant, giant home run. Stengelese - an exhaustive jumble and confusion of baseball words Yogi-ism - a witticism derived from that half of the things that Yogi really said. There must be others... ??
