Seriously, she could care less about baseball but she really loves football. Maybe even knows more about football than me actually.

LOL, maybe we should expand this to nicknames for athletes from any sport!

After a lot of thought, she said "I am pretty sure there was someone named "Lefty"". Sigh

My wife said sure the “killers Bs and Spanky”
I must say I was impressed with her answers.
I’ll even challenge you guys to come up with this guys she did, especially then 2nd reference. Good luck with this one.

My wife got "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. She did say "Babe" Ruth, which I guess is technically, sort of, his nickname.

The "Killer Bs" are Biggio, Bagwell, and possibly Berkman from the Houston Astros in the 1990s. That was a popular way to refer to them down in these parts.

As far as "Spanky," got me. Maybe she meant Sparky?

Ahhh in this case it’s Pittsburgh Pirates killer Bs, with Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla and Sid Bream also a few others. As for Spanky the catcher of the Bucs from like 87 to 93. —((( mike LaValliere))) — not a common name but he had a fun cult following during that time.

You learn something everyday. I had never heard that in regards to the Pirates.

My wife only knew Big Papi.
