Nickname Appreciation List

[Dawgfan19]

I was reviewing some rosters tonight and noticed Leon "Daddy Wags" Wagner. Don and I had discussed "Daddy Wags" after that draft. The real Leon "Daddy Wags" Wagner was a power hitting LF for the Cleveland Indians and the LA Angels in the '60s.

Daddy Wags got his nickname due to his batting style. Wikipedia stated it best: "He was affectionately known as "Daddy Wags" during his playing days. This was due to his distinctive left-handed batting style and his notable and unique body gesticulations, primarily below the waist, before going into his devastating stride.".

man I had always thought this was in reference to "Wags" from the tv show Billions, terrible assumption clearly

I nicknamed JJ Sampson. JJ "Good Times" after JJ from Good Times.

Nice, I love getting the background on these and seriously outright missed a number of good references.
