Not sure if this was mentioned, but growing up a Yankee fan in the late 80's and early 90's "Donnie Baseball" was a popular term.

Rickey Henderson
"Rickey-Speak" was a regular news feature here in the Bay Area during his lengthy and successful career. Although not a native to Oakland , Henderson was raised here and grew up in a community that shared the lingo. About 15 years ago, the Oakland School Board, unsuccessfully argued that "Ebonics" was a separate language. Agree with it , or not, the language is still spoken in parts of West Oakland and East Oakland (50's to the 100's Avenues), and Rickey-Speak lives on.....

In figure skating, and also (I think) gymnastics, there are a number of moves named after the athlete who invented or popularized them. E.g. the Salchow.

PUT UP YOUR DUKES
Meaning: Raise your fists and get ready to fight. Origin: In the early 1800s, the Duke of York, Frederick Augustus, shocked English society by taking up boxing. He gained such admiration from boxers that many started referring to their fists as the "Dukes of York," and later "dukes."
