Milkman delivers Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 What is your favorite athlete nickname? Mine is Rich Garces or "El Guapo." Every single time I hear that name, I laugh out loud. The idea of such a fat relief pitcher being called that just kills me. Let's hear some more funny or interesting ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Even though I hated the Pistons and I hated Vinnie Johnson, I always thought, "The Microwave" was a good one. Especially since it was when microwaves were really starting to become popular household items AND Vinnie could heat up that fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
