5. “Pepper” – Hernan Perez
Pepper works pretty much anywhere and enhances pretty much everything. The same can be said about a good utility man on a baseball team. The same can be said about Hernan Perez on the Milwaukee Brewers. Great nickname!
4. “El Causa” – Jesus Aguilar
"The St. Louis Cardinals might have a Carpenter, but the Milwaukee Brewers have a Jesus."
It is hard to come up with a nickname for a guy named Jesus, but “El Causa” is not bad. Translated from Spanish, it means really good friend.
3. “Cabezon” – Junior Guerra
From what I can tell, this roughly translates to “stubborn” in English. This matches up to Guerra’s strike-throwing and efficiency. This guy never quits on the mound. “Cabezon” sounds good in Spanish. I like it.
2. “La Makina” – Jhoulys Chacin
"…that’s Makina with a “K”"
In English, Chacin goes by the Machine. He added a split-fingered fastball to his great slider and now he is the best starter on the Brewers. Machine works just fine. “Makina” sounds better.
1. “The Mayor of Ding-Dong City” – Travis Shaw
"The best nickname on the Brewers does not fit on the back of his jersey."
When you see “DDC” on the back of Shaw’s Players’ Weekend uniform, it stands for Ding Dong City. Everyone in Miller Park already knows it. This nickname is funny, it is fun to say, and it is absolutely adored by fans.
Right now, this is the best Brewers nickname, hands down.
