At one point in our son's baseball 'career', when he threw harder than anyone on the team, he was nicknamed Smoke. When the All Stars went to Williamsport, the league had jackets made for the boys and each had his nickname embroidered over the left chest area.

One player on the team was a real stickler for putting everything in his bag exactly the same way each and every time he got on or off the bench. The coach nicknamed him Granny ... and to this day, even when I see that now 6'3" buff 24 year old, all I can envision is a skinny little 'granny' putting his gear in his bag.
