Greatest Sports Nicknames


While many sports have their history of great nicknames, they are not nearly as prevalent as they used to be. Doesn't it feel like every player that played in the 50's 60's and 70's has a nickname. Even your fathers favorite weak hitting second basemen for one year had a nickname. Start going on about they called him "Squeaky" or something cause his locker was always clean. With all this in mind, I thought it might be nice to try to get a list of the better nicknames in professional sports right now.


Personally here are a few favorites:
Big Papi - It works in so many ways
Big Donkey - gotta love when they make fun of big guys speed
Flash - cmon, he's the fastest man alive (he beat superman more times) and you give it to a phenom like Wade...
Apollo Creed - The Count of Monte Fist-o. I said professional, I didn't say real...
