Thanks for the PBP, young lady.

Next up, tu. You know what that means? Bad News for tu!!!!

Obviously not everyone has a nickname and I don't think anyone outside of this board uses these. We try to just let them develop organically.

Bard - Shakespeare (I think this one is obvious)
Dettmer - Dirty (stolen from Claunch last year)
Haas - Haastile
Hogan - Hero
Kent - superfish
Laviolette - The Violence (we tried Mr Wellborn after fall ball but it just didn't stick)
Moss - Professional Hitter
Targac - Hammer (I think this was actually his HS nickname. We used Targatcha last year and I might switch back to it)
Thompson - Sparky (team started calling him sparkplug last year, I like Sparky better)
Tucker, Stanley - Tuck, King Tuck 2, Lord Stanley (we haven't really settled on one yet)
Wells - Sonic (first game when he came in for Minnich he ran so fast his legs looked like Sonic the hedgehog)

We also occasionally call Minnich "Minnich to win it"

We keep trying to find one for Werner but nothing works for long.

I agree. I'm hoping once Minnich is back, that part is better

After the way Tucker came off the bench and got some crucial hits and made a spectacular play in center, there's no choice but to go with Lord Stanley.

If anyone's unfamiliar with the historical Lord Stanley, he showed up with his army at the Battle of Bosworth Field, where young Henry Tudor (a guy with very tenuous claim to the throne through his Lancastrian lineage) was attempting to overthrow the Yorkist King Richard III.

It was unclear on whose side Stanley would enter the fray. He watched as the battle unfolded, and when it appeared Richard III was getting the upper hand, he entered on Tudor's side and swung the outcome the other way. Henry Tudor became King of England as Henry VII, father of Henry VIII and grandfather of Bloody Mary and Elizabeth I.

Tuck showed up to the Battle at Olsen Field and swayed the outcome with his heroics.

It has to be Lord Stanley
