Thurman Munson. Great ball player, fine leader, beloved Yankee.

But the name sounds like a name you give the mall cops when you are 15 and acting a fool in the mall.

Classic 70's baseball mustache though. Muy, muy macho!

Baseball legend and great humanitarian. I wish he was still around.

If we have moved on to nicknames then:

Stan "The Man" Musial.

How can you have a better nickname than to have an entire league of professionals designate YOU as "The Man?"
