Okay, We Need Nicknames for Pierre and Murton

[sherwood921]

I like Juan "I'm so dehydrated I" Pierre

I think Juan's nickname already is "Wheels". I read that somewhere...Trib I think.

 

Yeah here it is.

 

"Juan has been full-steam-ahead since the first day he ever stepped on a baseball field," said White, Pierre's T-ball coach. "That game, he hit the ball, ran to first base so hard and so fast that I said to somebody, 'Man, look at the wheels on that kid.' And that kind of became his nickname through high school. Down here, we call him, 'Wheels.'"

 

 

 

Looks like you just got yourself an assignment: find a similar article about Murton. :D

From earlier in this very thread and NSBB's very own Q&A with Mr. Murton himself:

From mhuber92211:

 

What have been some of your nicknames throughout your career and what would be the one you wish you had that one of your teammates had?

 

Answer from Matt Murton:

 

"Big Red" being the most obvious one. "Human Rain Delay" with some of my antics between pitches. There are some great nicknames in baseball but I really don't think of wanting to steal a teammates nickname

Pierre - Juan Dog (get it?)

 

Murton - Candy Cane

 

 

Best I could do.

Murton: Although I think "Big Red" is already a given, I'm going to throw out "Brawny," by the way, if any of you haven't seen the "Innocent Escapades" on http://www.brawnyman.com then you are missing out.

Big Red sounds good, but I don't really want to have to type it in a game thread.
