Let's post suggestions here and then we'll hype up the winner.

 

Let's beat Hawk to the punch.

Gooch.

Gucci ... It's "stylish".

Ummm, why not simply "Iguchi"? It works for Ichiro.

Gooch.

 

that's going to be a verb, as in, he gooched second. Runners on second and third and still nobody out.

His real name sounds like a nickname so let's give him a real name. May I suggest Ted Jones?

I was thinking along the lines of Mussina and Moose.

'Now hitting for the White Sox, the 2nd baseman, number 5, Tadahito Iguchi'

Crowd: 'Goooooooooooooch.'

I don't know about a nickname ... but when he comes to plate, the Sox need to do the old musical show-biz salute for a stunt or trick performed well .... TA DA!!!!!!!!

I like Gooch, but I could also warm up to "Iggy"

Hawk will probably call him "Tad-pole" 'cause Iguchi is small and it puts Hawk's down home southern spin on it.

I dunno, that would sound like the crowds saying "gook". Probably not that great of an idea.

Only for 6 games..... when the classy northsiders are around.

He aint Harris or HAH for short

Go-Go Goochi

Go-Go

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Clever.

 

Brings in Iguchi's speed element and ties in with White Sox history.

Gucci ... It's "stylish".

 

I was thinking that too.

Shingo already has the Gong, what will Iguchi's intro be like? Music, scoreboard graphics, etc.

I'll say the Dragon song/noise they play over there, but that's my guess.

Gooch is too American sounding. Does anyone have a complete list of Hawk nicknames for the team?

OOO-EE-OOO TAD-A-HIT-O

Does the word 'Gooch' mean anything to anyone?

Gooch.

The piece of skin connecting the scrotum and testes to the poop chute. The gooch is also attached to the bacon strip which is located directly on the undercarriage of the testes.

 

I think i need to get deodorant for my gooch, it always sweats profusley, I think the gooch glands are swollen.

Gotta love the Urban Dictionary.

Gooch just seems to fit.

Perhaps I'm just a bit too old, but "The Gooch" was the name of the bully on Diff'rent Strokes in the early 80's...and it's a terrible nickname for a Japanese player.

 

Besides, nicknames "happen", they usually aren't thought up in a predetermined method. Like my nicknames for people at Comisky...in the outfield, there is this beer guy who has long hair...hence I why I call him "HEY LONG HAIRED BEER GUY, OVER HERE!"

 

Then there is the Steak Pita stand in right field...those are the "PITA PEEPS".

 

Let's wait for Iguchi to do something to deserve a nickname before we give him one...for all we know he will fail and we will end up calling him Tada-NO-HIT-o.

Ding, Ding, Ding, we have a winner. I'd never heard it called that until soemone told me the other day. I always called it 'the tain't'.

 

By the way, 'Tad' is horrible, sounds like a prissy, preppy frat boy. Sounds like Chad, which goes with Brett , Biff, Chip etc.
