Great to slug and sprint past the Fightin' Phils.
Even better to outhustle a team with the Flyin' Hawaiian, Shane Victorino.
Is that one of the coolest nicknames in sports or what?
Right up there with K-Rod and AK-47.
My favorites:
World B. Free
The King Fish
The Galloping Ghost
Hopalong Cassidy
The Babe
Broadway Joe
The Yankee Clipper
Stan the Man
Wilt the Stilt
The Say Hey Kid
Hammerin' Hank
Baby Doll Jacobson

Wrold B Free
wasn’t his nickname. Its was his legal name. And he was AWESOME.
Do you have a moment to hear about the Church of Fregosi?

World wasn't actually his name at birth
His birth name was Bernard B. Free. He picked up the nickname “World” during his early years because of his “all-world” skills. But he did have his name legally changed to World years ago, during his playing career. Apparently World B. Free is working for the Sixers in the front office still.
And yes, he was AWESOME.
Don't call me Desmond

Yea I saw it.
I think he is an Angels fan. Just seems overly infatuated with the Phils to me.

I'd be remiss
not to mention the famous Mice Tits (Maicer Izturis) or Donkey (Brendan Donnelly).
But my all time fave is the kingfish.
