I have a few - ten minutes research on the net could get all of 'em, these are just from memory. 1. The Rocket - Rod Carew (I think) and Roger Clemons. 2. Night Train Lane. 3. Blue Moon Odom. 4. Hacksaw Reynolds (I think). 5. Boom-Boom Geoffrion (only giving one here). 6. Oil Can Boyd 7. Bone Crusher (don't know this one) 8. Mugsy Bogues 9. Double X - Jimmy Foxx 10. Super Gnat (nope) How about extra credit for knowing that Oil Can Boyd's nickname came from his habit of drinking beer - everything went smoother, he said, once a little oil was applied. And Blue Moon Odom's nickname was invented purely for publicity by Charley Finley. Edit - you left off one of the coolest of all time - He Hate Me - Rod Smart. He had this on his XFL jersey instead of his name. I keep coming back and editing as I remember stuff - NO MORE EDITS! Great question!
