Baseball Nicknames

The Human Rain Delay is my favorite one in modern times.

In football, Jim Crowley was one of the Four Horsemen at Notre Dame; he would later coach the Seven Blocks of Granite at Fordham. One of Crowley's students, Steve Sorota, later became the football coach at Phillips Andover, where the center on his undefeated 1970 team was Bill Belichick. Roughly contemporaneous with the Seven Blocks of Granite, the Supreme Court had two factions, the Four Horsemen and the Three Musketeers, with two swing justices who usually decided cases.

I'm a huge Paul O'Neill fan but I always thought The Warrior was cool. And fitting.

Donnie Baseball is by far my favorite. Who could ask for a better nickname as a ballplayer.

Speaking of the Yankees, the Sandman is an awesome nickname.

Is there a better nickname than Bartolo Colon's?

BIG SEXY

I like when a player embraces the nickname.
Al Hrabosky often signs "The Mad Hungarian" on cards & photos

And Mark “The Bird” Fidrych.

As well as Bill “Spaceman” Lee

Two pitchers who lived up to their monikers.

I’ll post a pic of The Bird later.
