#132 Fred Hutchinson- According to Jim Brosnan, Hutchinson was a reader. If I remember correctly Hutchinson liked John Cheever's works. On the other hand, this card is notorious for being off-center to the left or the right. This is a card that one day I will upgrade.

His nickname "Puddin' Head" was based on a song that was popular when Willie was a small child with no negative connotation intended. Could you imagine that happening today? I don't even think a rap artist would adopt such a moniker today.

"Sometimes you have to be careful when selecting a nickname for yourself. For instance, say you have selected the nickname 'Fly Head'. Normally you would think 'Fly Head' would be a person with beautiful swept back features from the wind. But, think again. Might not someone think 'Fly Head' implied a head that looked like a fly ? Some people might actually think that".....Jack Handey
