His father was called, “The Impaler”, which was darn near as good as it gets when it comes to baseball nicknames. There have been plenty of great ones over the years, “The Iron Horse” for Lou Gehrig, the “Say Hey Kid” for Willie Mays“, or simply just “The Babe”.
The Blue Jays have had some great ones too like “Joltin’ Joe Carter“, “Joey Bats”, the “Bringer of Rain”, and of course “Doc”.
It’s a minor thing, and yet the truly great players in baseball and across sports generally end up with some sort of nickname.
