Noah Syndergaard made his major league debut Tuesday night and, if you don’t already know by now, his nickname is “Thor.”
He’s not the only one in sports (or even on the Mets, for that matter) to be referred to by a superhero moniker.
Here are six, including Syndergaard, who have this distinction:
Noah Syndergaard – “Thor”
He has long, blonde hair, a scorching fastball and yes, he wields that mythological hammer (curve).
Dwight Howard – “Superman”
Wore a cape at the slam-dunk contest, which was all it took. Pretty weak credentials, if you ask me.
