Character Nicknames
Perhaps the most common nicknames are the character names. The greatest of these is a toss up between the Man of Steal (Rickey Henderson) or The Capital Punisher (Frank Howard), but names like The Cobra (Dave Parker), The Hawk (Andre Dawson), The Iron Horse (Lou Gehrig), Wild Thing (Mitch Williams), Mild Thing (Doug Jones), or The Big Hurt (Frank Thomas) are iconic as well.
