Michael Barrett nicknamed "Doc"

[LuvChicagoSports]

On the Cubs website in the article about Lee being ok after hand went numb, at the end it talks about the upcoming series with the White Sox. Derrek refers to Barrett as Doc. Does anyone know where this came from or what it's about?

His sensual bedside manner.

[Drew Doughty]

He can shine.

He knocked Pierzynski's jaw back into place after AJ dislocated it trying to score against the Cubs.

[Roast]

He can shine.

With a nickname like that I can't believe he doesn't see Prior and Wood more.

 

ZING!

[Bruce Miles]

I believe Doc Barrett was an old Western character.

[Derwood]

Doc? I would've guessed Sneezy or Bashful

[series65cubsfan]

I believe Doc Barrett was an old Western character.

 

Wasn't that Doc Holliday, in the Gunfight at OK corral? With Wyatt and company?

 

I don't know, I didn't grow up here (US) and westerns were far and few between in Asia.

TUCSON, Ariz.- A disheveled and broken figure stumbled into the gorgeous lobby of the Hotel El Conquistador here. "I'd like to see Doc Barrett," he told the clerk. Charley Barrett is the veteran trainer of the Columbia University football team (on a stopover for the New Year's Day game with Stanford. "Chase," muttered the man in filthy clothing, "Chase, tell Doc it's Hal Chase" Barrett couldn't believe it and came down to the lobby to ascertain who the imposter was. But it wasn't a pretender. Although Barrett scarcely recognized him, there stood once glamorous Prince Hal, the baseball immortal considered by many to be the greatest first baseman who ever lived. Barrett trained the old New York Yankees, with whom Chase played some years ago, when he was at the height of his fame. Tears poured down the cheeks of both as they embraced each other.

From Publishers Weekly

Perennial bestseller Deveraux ( The Duchess ) involves yet another spunky heroine in a formulaic romance. After her divorce and her father's death in early 1991, 28-year-old Sam Elliott arrives in New York City to search for clues to the riddle of her grandmother's mysterious 1964 disappearance. Her father's will directs her to spend a year on this quest while renting an apartment from his young friend Mike Taggert, who is writing a book about Prohibition-era gangster Doc Barrett.

But now they were working together, probing deep into the history of Anthony "Doc" Barrett - and coming closer to the dangerous truth about a bloody spring night in 1928, and what had become of a seductive blues singer named Maxie.
