I read a really good article somewhere about nicknames, and it brought up a really good point. You never really find yourself saying 'Oh the Big Unit is starting tonight, Moose is starting tomarrow' or 'A-Rod and Papi are both....whatever' It had the best point, even though people use A-Rod a lot, its not so much a nick name as it is a contraction. But there is only one player who you'll easily find yourself saying his nickname much more often then his real name, and that is El Duque. And its the truth, El Duque is the only player who i can think of that I never called Orlando Hernandez when talking to someone about him! |
