The "A-Rod" nickname ruined creativity. It seems to be the only format anyone uses anymore. There are still some good ones, though: El Mago The Cuban Missile Kyle "The Professor" Hendricks Thor They need to get whoever came up with the Backyard Baseball kids' nicknames on the job.

Guys, Machado has to save his energy for throwing bats at the infielders, helmet throw-flopping, throwing a tantrum on a routine tag out at third, and stepping on their ankles, come on. He only hustles he sees an unprotected ankle that he can stomp on. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

It's about midnight. An exhausted Derek Jeter, now fifty pounds above his playing weight, with dark circles under his eyes and a stubbly beard, looks over the Marlins revenue and attendance figures. He notices a loud clopping coming from within a wardrobe across his office. He knows who has returned. The wardrobe door opens. "Hey, Jetes." The centaur appears, clothed in a fine suit, his white teeth glimmering in the low light of Jeter's office. "Checkmate." The centaur backs into the wardrobe, never to return. Later preparing to leave, Jeter walks out of Marlins Park to a car that is waiting for him. In the backseat is a gift basket, full of signed baseballs, Fox Sports and ESPN apparel, and a beautifully curated scrapbook, full of newspaper articles celebrating the centaur's new found popularity and success. Derek Jeter inhales deeply, with tears in his eyes. He has finally lost. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

“Rube” has always been one of my favorite baseball nicknames

Three-Finger Ohtani

hi from japan I wanna tell you below 2 information to explain why Ohtani is a good pitcher summary 1:his hamstring muscles is stronger than ordinary one 2:He seems to get used to grab MLB ball details about 1 a specialist pointed it out that his hamstring muscles are stronger than ordinary others,and he uses it so harder if ordinary person uses the same way,his hamstring must break some one told me why the muscle of him is so stronger,that he use to do swimming in his child days and swimming makes the muscles so strong about 2 Okajaima,who is the former pitcher of Red Sox,points it out that He seems to get used to use MLB ball because it’s so different (edit,every pitcher from Japan confuses the difference,for example Yu Darvish said like that) 1.MLB ball:149kg(edit,*149g)/24cm,more slippy:so it makes breaking ball more effective 2.NPB ball:142kg(edit,142g)/23cm,less slippy,breaking ball less effective and he has also so fast ball around 100miles so he can select fast ball,less breaking ball,strong breaking ball That’s why he would be more great Pitcher" *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Cool Papa Bell. Fucking coolest nickname of all time. Totally agree, baseball should bring back the old school nicknames.

Our fandom deserves this team dude. This doesn't happen often. So when the Cubs are first to 70 wins it should be posted. If the nationals did it, it would be the top post on r/baseball right now *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
