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.

The late Jeffrey Leonard has two really good nicknames, and one, IMO, great one:

Early on, he earned the name 'Hack-man'

In his prime with the Giants he was 'One Flap Down'.

Those two, especially the second one were very widely used.


The third one did not have same 'following', but I love it:

Here are three pictures depicting the source of this nickname:

'Ole Penitentiary Face'
