A (Pete) Rose by Any Other Name

To get us all ready for THE START OF THE REGULAR SEASON, I present some 11 Points' List of the GREATEST BASEBALL NICKNAMES EVER. Some of which are due for a comeback or re-branding. You can read the full article here:

1. Bob "Death to Flying Things" Ferguson

2. Lou "Biscuit Pants" Gehrig - As Humpty Hump said, just grab 'em in the biscuits

3. Pud "The Little Steam Engine" Galvin

4. Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown - Who, non-ironically enough, only did have three fingers

5. "Gentleman" George Decker - "Caballero" Carlos Zambrano

6. Hugh "Losing Pitcher" Mulcahy - Barry Zito's already dusting this name off

7. Frank "The Piano Mover" Smith

8. George "High Pockets" Kelly

9. Burleigh "Ol' Stubblebeard" Grimes - Not to be confused with Los Feliz's famed sloshery "Ye Olde Rustic Inn"

10. William Van Winkle "Chicken" Wolf

11. George "Twinkletoes" Selkirk - I dare anyone to call Milton Bradley this

Suddenly, WWE nicknames seem a little less assy. (Speaking of, I was always partial to Lanny Poffo, who went by "Leaping" and then reinvented himself as "The Genius.")

Loyal (and Cheating) Readers - Any suggestions for nicknames for our current roster? Throw them in the comments.
