“A nickname is the heaviest stone that the devil can throw at a man. It is a bugbear to the imagination, and, though we do not believe in it, it still haunts out apprehensions.” – William Hazlitt Our names tell the story about who we are, who our families are and where we come from. Nicknames often do the same. Sometimes they evoke the image of a great leader or hero and other times, they bring to mind a certain event that we would rather everyone just forgot. Either way, they tend to stick with us, for better or worse. But what happens when you’re in the public eye and you get saddled with a nickname? It’s not so easy to live down an embarrassing nickname when the entire world has heard it. That’s where Snippetz comes in. With so many to choose from, we couldn’t list them all so we gathered together some of the most interesting, off-the-wall, crazy nicknames from the wonderful world of sports, and here they are, in no particular order.
