How about that for a nickname that could stick? 😆

Well, the woke/PC war will definitely be afoot.

Not too far from schitzo or spazz.

Seems more appropriate for hockey/football players tbh.

W in TF

Sam is becoming the heart of this team.

Didn't they call Steve Lyons psycho?

Hits crack pipe

Walk up music

The White Sox are 31-21 since Sam debuted.

Sam is the catalyst... the engine.

Yep! Perhaps the only player in Sox history who dropped his pants on the playing field.

Billy Strings does a great version that is a happier tempo. Great contrast to story. Possibly some of the most disturbing lyrics in a song. After hearing Billy's version, I researched it back in time. Amazing it is that old.

Lighten up, Francis.

My buddy's always been into Psychobilly, but I think the Elvis Costello version was my first foray. Thanks for posting this.

We've already decided on a nickname. Sam is The Chairman of the Board. There is no need for further discussion.

Telegram Sam, Chairman of the Psycho Board.

Sam is a beast though. He's a perfect leadoff man. I'm still of the opinion that the Sox should sell Meidroth while his value is as high as it will ever be. Let Sam take over at 2B.

We ≠ You

That suggestion is awful 😆

Looks like he may have had a nickname of “Snacci” at earlier points of his career.

Any ideas @Bill The Boy

This is 2026.

Seriously, does anyone think Sam or his family would like that nickname...no matter how much in jest it is?

It might as well be Yosemite Sam or HBP Sam.

Doesn't meet the standard of a great or even good nickname.

Sure beats “Chairman of the Board” 😆

Anyone with any insight into who Sam is understands that Psycho is a complement.

It was also just a suggestion and a point to spitball ideas. The Sox have had a glaring absence in the nickname department since Hawk retired. 😆

Tough shoes to fill - in that regard, Hawk was one of the best.
