Thank you, guys, for keeping it going.
Billy Ball brings to mind Whitey Ball. Seems like something should have come from Uecker or Marv Throneberry, but nothing is immediately coming to mind.

Not a player but a team
A forgotten approach to building a franchise (at least in Maryland)....
The Oriole Way--continuity and stability, with a good baseball model of developing players internally and winning at the professional level.

Don't know if this counts. I've heard people use the line from the Simon and Garfunkel song on occasion.
"Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?"

Suspecting that someone was likely to come up with the neologism, "Satchelism", I found this:
"(Another Satchelism is relevant here: "You win a few, you lose a few. Some get rained out. But you got to dress for all of them." )" From: http://tinyurl.com/24e4xzk

Not sure if this was mentioned, but growing up a Yankee fan in the late 80's and early 90's "Donnie Baseball" was a popular term.

Rickey Henderson
"Rickey-Speak" was a regular news feature here in the Bay Area during his lengthy and successful career. Although not a native to Oakland , Henderson was raised here and grew up in a community that shared the lingo. About 15 years ago, the Oakland School Board, unsuccessfully argued that "Ebonics" was a separate language. Agree with it , or not, the language is still spoken in parts of West Oakland and East Oakland (50's to the 100's Avenues), and Rickey-Speak lives on.....

A few from other sports....
A "Gordie Howe hat trick". A players scores a goal, gets an assist and gets in a fight all in one Hockey game. Getting "Phaneufed" (for Hockey player Dion Phaneuf) means getting body checked really hard. grabbing a "Rodman" (for Dennis Rodman) is another term for grabbing a rebound in Basketball.

In figure skating, and also (I think) gymnastics, there are a number of moves named after the athlete who invented or popularized them. E.g. the Salchow.

Regarding your ? ....... "Seems like something should have come from Uecker or Marv Throneberry, but nothing is immediately coming to mind. " When stadium spectators are sitting in "sky high" seats (as opposed to "sky boxes"), way up in the "rafters" of a ballpark, they usually refer to their seats as "Bob Uecker seats". We recently were asked where our seats were at Arthur Ashe Stadium (US Tennis Open). I made the point of saying...... "We were waving to Bob Uecker, who was sitting down below us few rows". "Marvelous Marv" Throneberry....now there is quite a BB character. TED Z

I don't know that it's made it's way into vernacular, but every time I see a guy make an over the shoulder catch, it seems the announcer calls it a "Mays catch" Just happened on the Royals XM feed a week ago or so. Even though none of these catches are ever half as brilliant.
