June 9, 200520 yr 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.
June 9, 200520 yr QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jun 9, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) Personal Favorite: Stacey "The Plastic Man" Augmon Yeah, that's a good one. I'd have figured that you'd choose Sleepy Floyd.
June 9, 200520 yr QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jun 9, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) Yeah, that's a good one. I'd have figured that you'd choose Sleepy Floyd. "The Human Highlight Film" is quite clever too...
June 9, 200520 yr 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.
