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.
