Default I always liked...

From the 1941 Goudey set...

Hugh "Losing Pitcher" Mulcahy

The Dodgers had a minor leaguer pitcher named Given Kutz. I always hoped he would make it but unfortunately his named foreshadowed his ability.

You might want to skip to the 1:53 mark of this video to catch his Hargrove impression. It's pretty dead on...

Being known as somewhat laid-back person, my fav is:

"Ice-Box" Chamberlain

also .....

Georgetown's old guard "Sleepy" Floyd (who actually got the name from his slow play at 2nd base).

.... and I forget the name of th SF 3rd baseman who was called "Tin Man" for his steel heart approach to life.



(((and for those pshychotic baseball fans: Terry "The Terror" Larkin)))

Here are some OJ era player nicknames:

Apollo of the Box (Tony Mullane)
The Hoosier Thunderbolt (Amos Rusie)
James "Pud" Galvin
"Parisian Bob" Caruthers
Ed "Cannonball" Crane
Joe "Ubbo Ubbo" Hornung


Or was this thread meant for cards that actually have the nicknames on the cards?
