Here are a couple for those who like me go back aways:
"The Kitten"
"Harry the Cat"

The only ones that folks did not get before are Dr. Strange Glove-Dick Stuart for his adventures playing first base for the Red Sox,
Old Tomato-Jack Lamabe, a journeyman relief pitcher for the Red Sox, who got his name because his face many times would turn red(I always wondered why it would not have had to turn orange to get that name) and Ozark Ike-Guz Zernial, going WAY back to the 1950's.
