Nicknames
You may hear me refer to some of the players by nicknames. Sometimes you can figure out who I am talking about, sometimes there isn't enough context. I am going to post a list of the player nicknames. Some have stories behind them, some don't.
Cody Allen- Chicken, Chicken Al
Fun Fact- Justin Masterson actually brought a real chicken to the ballpark and it wandered onto the turf near the warning track.
John Axford- Axman
Justin Masterson- Nasty Masty, Masty
Zack McAllister- Z-Mac
Marc Rzepczynski- Scrabble
By far, one of my favorite nicknames. A lot of people had no idea had to pronounce his name when he first came here.
Yan Gomes- Yanny, Yanimal
Asdrubal Cabrera- Cabbie
Lonnie Chisenhall- Big Lon, The Chiz Kid, Lonnie Baseball
Jason Kipnis- Kip, Kippy, Dirtbag, Kipnasty, J Kid
Dirtbag was an affectionate nickname given to Kipnis by Manny Acta because he loves to slide in the dirt
Carlos Santana- C-san
Justin Sellers- Cellblock
He has many tattoos on his arms, thus "Cellblock" was dubbed.
Nick Swisher- Swish
Michael Bourn- Bourney
Michael Brantley- Dr. Smooth
Nyjer Morgan- Tony Plush
His alter ego's name is Tony Plush
Jason Giambi- Giambino, G, Big Papa G
