We've done your homework. And away we go with our number two of Gwen and Chris for a finally it's a Friday, a Friar Friday if you missed our interview. One of my favorites we've done already so far this year. Matt Waldron joined us the Padres right-hander and some fun stuff and some very insightful stuff about the Knuckleball and his journey to success here in the big leagues with the Padres. If you missed the first hour of the show or the interview or wanted to hear it, go back to our website 973thefanSD.com. It's always there for you. Download the Odyssey app. You can listen, rewind. You know, if you like a particular question, you want to listen to it again over and over and over again. I know Scravey particularly like the Phil Nikro question. Yes, they gave me a hard time about that one. But yeah, you can always listen to this interview is Matt Waldron. It was particularly good today. Enjoyed that. Tony Gwen Jr. getting ready for the game tonight, but he'll be rejoining us for the big five and our countdown segments which are still to come on the program. Of course, Sam Levitt has the Padre pregame show getting underway shortly after 530 this evening. And it'll be Jesse and Scan, I believe, on the radio broadcast tonight with Tony heading over to TV with the famous Don or Sillow. Yes. I must say, and I don't not trying to be out of school here. But I think it's one of the funnier optics after a Padre game is to ride down the elevator to street level with Don or Sillow. Oh, name dropper. I'm dropped. I know. Yeah, right. Eric Grouppner was on our team screen. Here, baby. I'm dropping all kinds of names. But anyway, a walkout. I'm kind of trailing Don or Sillow by a few yards. And it's just funny to see him making his way through the throng of people that are all leaving Petco Park. How does he do that? Don or Sillow just kind of puts his head down like a running back and just charges through the crowd in search of wherever his car is. It's very, it's, it's an interesting optic. Because a lot of people, I think, want to, you know, no, there's Don or Sillow. You know, they love this guy, but and he loves them. So he's trying to be nice to the fans and say hi and wave it, everybody. But at the same time, he's, you know, trying to get out of there. I, I, I'm not. So fun. Same level as Don or Sillow. But I totally get it because like after sometimes when we're done with like broadcast and stuff, people want to talk and that's fine. I will talk, but I had to go one day and I'm the guy who feels, feels bad leaving conversation. Right. But I can understand because I try to sneak out. It's funny because Don or Sillow, he looks like, he looks like a running back. He kind of puts his head down with his arm out, you know, cradling the football and the other arm. Oh, Tyler says that making his way through the crowd to get out of the game and the fans are like Don Don or Sillow Don or Sillow. And he's like, Hi, how are you? Hey, I have you. Hey, great. Thanks, Andy. Off he goes. Tyler said that's exactly how I met him after a game one day. Stopped him to take a pick and he was the nicest ever. Yes, he's very nice, but he's, you know, in a hurry. I don't go home. I don't blame him wants to go home. He's been there all day. Yeah, it's kind of a funny optic as all. Anyway, Don and Tony are on the TV side this weekend. All right, one quick subject before we get to the daily gambit. This is a subject which makes me go. Oh, uh, Seltics had their championship. I know. I'll mention it for a couple of reasons. One, Jason Tatum went out of his way to throw some shade on the Miami heat today. They were the team that the Celtics beat in the first round and he was asked before the parade by somebody from Boston, you know, about beating the heat, you know, and saying that that's a team that's given you trouble in the past. And Jason Tatum said, Oh, no, they're always easy. Well, they're always easy because Jimmy Butler wasn't playing the same way Donovan Mitchell wasn't playing in the second round, the same way Tyree's Halliburton got hurt in the third round. Anyway, I think the Celtics had a really lucky run to the NBA title and you can't convince me any different that bothered you. The whole thing bothered me that they had just had given to them basically because of injuries to Embiid and Janus and Dame Lillard and everybody else fell out of the way and the Celtics cruised in and everybody's like, this is the greatest team of all time. No, they're not. Maybe if they win four or five championships, get back to me. But until then 18. So not this team, not this group. All right. Anyway, they had their thing to the one thing I do like about the Boston celebrations and they've had more of them than any other city. Yeah, I know. Since 2000, thanks, mostly to the Patriots, but the Red Sox won a bunch of Celtics. The one thing I do like about the Boston celebration parades is that they use those duck boats. That's cool. Those are just a blast. If you never actually been on one. Yeah, if you go to Boston, to me, it's a must because because some people don't like, you know, like the city tour. Some people like it, but some people are like, I'm not going on any city tour. There's a boring, they're boring in a lot of cities. But in Boston, there's actually a lot of history in that. And that's so much. Right. So a city tour and being on the duck boat, you go in and out of the water. Anyway, it's, it's worth your time. That is crazy. I need to go on a duck boat. I do. You will enjoy it. If you go to Boston, reserve a spot on the duck boat. All right, let's see how we did winners losers daily gambit. Do you like money? I think about money a lot. Do you like money without doing anything? A duck winning. Do you want to make money while watching sports? I think Washington is immortal luck. Washington. If you answer yes, this is your segment. Just don't blame us when you lose. Nothing is ever your fault. It's your game. Take it. Gwen and Chris go through the top bets of the day in the daily gambit on 97 three, the fan. Daily gambit or daily sports bag segment here on Gwen and Chris, please everybody gamble responsibly. Did Jimmy Butler win the title a few years ago or they didn't win it. Yeah, they were in the finals. I was going to go against Denver. I was going to say Jason Tatum shouldn't talk trash because no one is going to remember six months from now that the Celtics won this title because no one watched any of this. Did you see the ratings were they bad? I haven't seen the ratings, but I can't imagine they were very good because the games weren't very good. They were like 35 point blowouts. I agree. It wasn't a great NBA finals by my estimation and I agree with you as well. Jimmy Butler is beating Jason Tatum a couple of different times. He has more exciting for like Jimmy Butler better also. There you go. All right. I do find I did find an article on the ratings, but we'll get to that later. Liberty minus 14 and a half over the LA Sparks last night. You chose Liberty. I chose the Sparks. Liberty did win Chris, but they did not cover because they won by 13 93 to 80. So sparks cover on that one heartbroken by that Brianna Stewart versus Sabrina Inescue. Who is going to have more points in this game? You said Sabrina Inescue. I said Brianna Stewart and Inescue had more points 31 points to Brianna Stewart 17 points. Big night inescue. Both of them are going to be on the Olympic team though. That is that is a potent duo in the WNBA. It's a gold medal coming our way. I don't I don't have a scouting report on the rest of the world, but usually the US women's team is pretty good. I do I do know that they have the first WNBA balloting or numbers out for the all star vote. But do you think leads in all of the WNBA and votes has to be Caitlin Clark. It did is. Yeah. Okay. You know, I mean, this is the whole thing. Everybody wants to try to find all this fault with Caitlin Clark. Stop it. She is beloved and there's nothing wrong with that. And it's also not her fault. She just wants to play. She's a pretty good player for a rookie. She's having a hell of a season. And I wish, you know, people would stop all the controversy. That's all. Enjoy what we've got. Don't tell the person replied to me on Twitter today because I saw Angel Reese. I think it was Angel Reese. She was like double dribbling all over the place. That wasn't Angel Reese. It was another player. I just saw that one leg warmer thing. And I thought maybe it was her. No, but so the person replied because I said, Uh huh. Look at this dribble. And the guy's like, it's people like Caitlin Clark are now forcing these clips down my timeline all the time now. Like, what does well, like, dude. And I said this to him. That's a lot to take from one clip, bro. Yeah, the clip down. If you didn't see the clip, it was pretty funny. There was a shot of a girl, a woman in a WNBA dribbling down the floor. And she picked up the ball and put it back down on the floor three times. It should have been triple double dribble. Yes. It should have been referees for some reason didn't see it or call it or anything. My thing is, like, if you don't like the WNBA, don't watch it. That's right. Nobody's in it. Nobody's making you watch it. Yes. But it's better than it's ever been before. I've been in a lot of us are enjoying it. I've been engaging with people way too much leading. Got called a Bay Area Bozo yesterday. So Bay Area Bozo. I did. Thank you, Brandon. Very accurate. Okay. Brewers were favored in the game last night, minus one and a half on the run line. You chose the Padres. I was so down on the Padres. I couldn't choose the Padres. So I chose the Brewers. Yeah. You were correct because the Padres once said six and I put down here that you took Milwaukee parentheses. Sorry. You were sorry about making that. Oh, that's right. I was sorry about making it. But it worked out. Sorry. Now the next one was who's going to have more innings pitched? Bryce Wilson or Adam Major? I can't remember who you chose, but I chose Bryce Wilson. And did you choose Bryce Wilson? No, I went with the major. I want the kid. They went exactly the same. Yes, they did. It was a push. Both went four and two thirds innings. I really felt bad for Major. He needed one more out to get through the fifth inning with a four one lead and he would have been in line for his first major league win. And then Adamas hit the two run homer off him. Yeah. And then they took him out of the game. So that was it. He didn't need to qualify for a win at that point. All I could think about last night when he hit that homerun was that you said he's on fire recently. And then he had the end of the game when Jeremiah Stross struck him out. I was like, man, he's going to just mow through this right now. He did. But anyway, they got a win. And all got it all ended up all right. Final one with the was the Giants and the Cardinals at Rick Woodfield in Birmingham, Alabama. The Giants were minus one and a half on the run line. You chose the Giants. I chose the Giants. We both were wrong because the Cardinals won six to five. Well, you know, we were going with the Willie Mays angle there. Well, yeah. Nothing wrong with that. Yes. But it seemed by and large to be a very successful evening down in Birmingham. It did. Yeah. People seemed to really watch in the game. There's lots. There's good home runs. I mean, the only thing that I know it doesn't matter. It was something that happened after the game. And I don't I've already been so negative today. Don't need to be anymore. You're not going there. No, let's go forward. Let's go forward. Indeed. All right. One game earlier today on the scoreboard, the Mets club, the Cubs, 11 to 1. It's the only day baseball at Riggling Field. The Mets are playing well. The Mets have come right back into the race. You know, and that's what I was saying. You were kind of on Steve Cohen there a, you know, month or so ago saying this guy is this guy got his head on, right? And all he was saying was, you know, we can still win this year. And you know what? All they did was win seven in a row, which in this national league is all you need to do. It's huge. Because the Mets are right back in the middle of the race. I think the Cardinals are also 500 now. They are. Cardinals have gotten back to 500. They started the season terribly. Yes, they did. So it's it's anybody's game except if you're named the Rockies or the Marlins. Other than that, everyone's got a shot right now. Speaking of the Rockies, they're home to the Nationals today. Of course, Field, this line caught my eye over under 11 runs. That's a big number. That is Dakota Hudson's pitching for the Rockies. It's it's at course. Of course. It's of course. Yes. Dakota Hudson DJ hers, a left-hander, young lefties pitching for the Nats. The Nats come to San Diego after this. Your guy now, this may change your whole outlook. Nolan Jones is back in the Rockies lineup tonight. Oh my goodness. After sitting out for months and months with a stressed hang nail, I believe he had. No. Yeah. Yeah. He did have a stress. The guy had a knee. He had a back injury. Okay. I got put him on the aisle. The 10 days. This always gets gravy going. The 10 days for about 55 days. And then he comes back and he has a stomach bug and goes back on the aisle. I just you can't stand it. Never mind. How about this? How about this from Sam Blum tweeting out today. Mike Trout spoke to reporters just now. He acknowledged that his recovery from the meniscus surgery is going a little slower than he wants. He hasn't started running yet and doesn't have a timeline to return. I was thinking about this big five question and I didn't pour my trout. I didn't want to ask it because I didn't want to pile on my trout. But is it actually cute because everybody makes one of the angels is being a terribly run organization. They already Moreno does weird things. Maybe some of it you could put on my trout and Anthony Rendon. Those two guys are making a ton of money and they never play and the angels get all of the grief for that yet. How are they supposed to know that Anthony Rendon just doesn't really like playing baseball all that much. You know I mean that was uh they gave them a hundred and three hundred million dollars only to find out he didn't really like playing you want two months. All right so I'll go over after all that discussion. I'll go over too. Okay Padres one and a half runs over the brew crew tonight. So the Padres are favored tonight. Are you going to uh are you going to stick with the Brewers? Are you going to go back to the Friars? Dylan Sees is on the hill. It's not been pitching lately. I'm going to go with the Brewers just to keep what I did last night. You're going to hope for uh that that's one of those jinx jinx bets. Yes. All right then I took the Padres last night. I'll take them again and hope that the we can keep the keep the good vibes going. Keep the good vibes going. All right who gets more outs tonight. So tricky one. Chris Paddick against the A's in Oakland. Okay. Remember old Chris Paddick? Our friend? Yeah he's still pitching for the twins. He's been decent. They're okay this year. Is he going to pitch longer tonight in Oakland or Colin Ray for the Brewers here in San Diego? So you're betting on Paddick or Colin Ray. Who's going to have more innings pitch? I'm going with Paddick because I still like old Chris Paddick. Did you mean to go? Yes. That was my I'll just wait until we get to our nickname. Yeah Chris Paddick. I mean is there ever a guy more beloved in San Diego that disappeared from the scene quicker than Chris Paddick. Fran Miller is. Fran Miller a little bit. All right I'm going to go with Chris Paddick as well. Go Paddick too. All right the Stanley Cup finals continue tonight. Florida once led three games to none. Now it's three games to two. Uh oh pressure. And they're in Edmonton where the Oilers are looking to build on their momentum. Edmonton is favored by one and a half goals. Is this the night that the Panthers get the cup or does Edmonton push it to seven games or is it a one goal game which is you have to factor into your bet here as well. Um Edmonton by one and a half. I think Edmonton wins the game before it wins the bet. You think it's gonna be a one goal game? Yes. I think that Edmonton on their home ice does not go down and defeats. I'm gonna take Florida also. I see maybe a double overtime thriller tonight. Like a 15 to 14 type name. No I don't think so but I think it'll still be double overtime and there'll be a lot of drama. I'm looking forward to game six of the Stanley Cup finals tonight. Who makes more saves? The goalie for Florida, Sergey Babrowski or the goalie for Edmonton. His last name is Skinner. I think it's I don't know. Stewart's a little like in there. I can't think of his first name off and so you just have to go with that. Who makes more saves? Well I think Edmonton's gonna win the game so I'll say the Edmonton goalie makes more saves. No you may. Oh the Edmonton goalie makes more saves. So you're going with Skinner. Skinner. I will say that Babrowski makes more saves before it. Yes because I think the Edmonton's gonna fire more shots at him. Good point. That's my thinking. Good point. And then one more tomorrow afternoon game one of the college world series finals as upon us. Oh who we got? We have Braden Soprena or actually his brother Matt Soprena who is always by the way begging me for a shout out on the show. Is he? So here you go. Matt Soprena's Tennessee Vols. Oh yes Tennessee. Rank number one in the nation. Braden's brother went to Tennessee. They're taking on the Texas A&M Aggies. It's an all SEC showdown. Tennessee is the number one seed. A&M is the three seed. Tennessee's favored by one and a half runs in game one. So I'll take because I really like Matt Soprena. He's a nice kid. He plays on my softball team. But he's a little cocky for a young guy. And Ethan's Vols are all that. I'll take Texas A&M plus the one and a half. How do you like that Matt Soprena? And by the way Matt Soprena you just got like five shout outs. Yes you did get five shout outs. You know what my cousin went to Texas A&M. So I'm gonna pick Texas A&M too. No we're both going with the Aggies. Game one tomorrow. Yeah. All right we'll take a break. Check some traffic. Morgan and Chris on the way. Hold on. Hurry. Come on. Quick hands. Got to have quick hands over there. Here it is. Traffic. We all belong outside.

Going to be a trip down memory lane. Some of the great nicknames in sports. I think you'll enjoy. That's coming up shortly. I've got some good news here. Scrabie. I like good news about a story that could have been bad news but fortunately it's all right at least for now. Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders said in a statement posted to social media today that he experienced a heart related health scare last weekend. Sanders did not offer any details on the exact nature of the condition but he described the experience as unexpected and a reminder of the importance of staying vigilant about our physical well-being. We just talked about that in the SD fat loss commercial. Stay vigilant, vigilant, vigilant. I said even when we're feeling fine things can happen. Barry Sanders only turns 56 next month so it's a good reminder. He's a young man but he says he's taking this opportunity to prioritize his health and well-being. I think everybody knows. The history of Barry Sanders six-time all-pro top rusher in the football when he was there 15,000 yards for his career and I don't know did anybody make more exciting runs with a football than Barry Sanders? I can't think of anyone. Maybe gale sares did and that's before my time. Who? The amoeba is not his nickname. Was it? There was someone who's nicknamed the amoeba. If he wasn't that that would have been a pretty good nickname because you reached out for Barry Sanders and you couldn't grab him. Oh no I was saying that gale sares was the amoeba. Oh gale sares might have been the amoeba. Anyway some of the greatest runs in the history of football were produced by Barry Sanders. I don't think there's any argument there. You're right. So get well Barry Sanders sounds like he's okay but it was a scare indeed. All right you had mentioned before we got to get to the break but just to wrap up the NBA championship parade today the Celtics had the ratings for the NBA finals were they good or not because I don't I thought it was a lousy series. Me too. Me too but really what I could tell you Chris is that my theory that the series was so boring no one was watching. It didn't really have that much of an impact there they were down like a million viewers from last year and that's not that significant. If they're going to take game five say for example which is the one that the Celtics clapped it up. They only lost a million viewers over the the year before which is not big deal so. Well sounds like I mean a million people is a lot but they're the article I read doesn't seem like they're worried about it at all. I mean last year let's last year was Denver and Miami those aren't exactly you know the biggest cities and the Dallas are bigger cities than that the Celtics are one of the marquee franchises I think for the ratings to be down is somewhat significant and should be of concern to the NBA. I would like to see like maybe get the Celtics the hell out of the finals next year so we can put somebody in there we want to watch. I think we should take the Dallas Mavericks out. Yeah because they do the Mavericks fault. Yeah I really thought it was going to be worse I thought there was going to be like significant declines in viewership to me a million is but I know what you mean and the grand scheme it's a small percentage point or two. Yeah yeah all right there we have that. Did you find out anything on the amoeba? No I didn't you did that would have been good for a nickname though now I'm coming up with all these nicknames now everything's a nickname now all these nicknames are coming to my mind. Well you'll see why when we come back with our countdown segment next on Gwen and Chris. Sorry Chris I uh Chris just did a brilliant opening. Oh man was a good and I didn't have his button. Well my button wasn't pushed properly. Nope. You know what sorry about that Chris. You always push my buttons. Oh yes I do. Not that time. No not that time. Sorry about that. All right um yes uh tonight is game two but tomorrow is the exact halfway point of the season. That's where the Padres how about that. That is crazy. They need to win both tonight and tomorrow. Did I think there would be below 500 when we hit the halfway point? No I did not huh. They're going to need to win tonight and tomorrow in order to be 41 and 40 at the halfway point. So in order to do that they got to win first tonight Dylan Cecil beyond the mound Colin Ray former Padre by the way pitching for the brew crew and by the way brew crew is a nickname. It is for the brewers. That's true. It's one of the better nicknames actually and it's one of their few nicknames. There just aren't nicknames anymore but there was a time and a place where nicknames ruled the world. Yes yeah and for that reason we go to some nicknames after traffic for today's countdown. It's now time for Gwen and Chris to rank their top five of the day. Gonna grip and rip as usual. This isn't just a regular top five list. I love it. It sounds significant but I love it. This is a countdown and it starts right now at 97.3 the fair. All right every week we pick a topic we count it down from five to one our favorite five on the particular subject of the day and today our countdown with the passing of Willie Mays the say hey kid got me thinking about great baseball nicknames and before we get to our list I did want to say that I think this day and age of baseball loses a little bit of its luster for sure because they're just aren't nicknames and for sure you know when you can go back but I mean it's incredible some of the just wonderful nicknames that not only players had Tony but how about teams? You can go see the Cardinals playing. I'll go see the gas house gang. You want to see the fillies? I'll go see the Wiz kids. You want to go see the Reds? I'd rather see the big red machine or the Miracle Mets. Who was Murderers Row? Murderers Row? That was the Yankees. Yeah I mean those the Pittsburgh Pirates were the lumber company. I mean come on I mean these are these are great names you know legendary make it bigger than life and I think a nickname had a lot to do with that and I'd like to see that come back a little bit more in baseball but anyway that is our countdown today the our top five favorite nicknames Scrabby. You ready to go? Yes I am. Is this going to be giant centric? No no there's actually no giants on there. Oh I thought you were going to get come. I was going to but I decided not to because it's not that good of a nickname but I think it's a good nickname. Shout out to Pablo Sandoval Kung Fu Panda. I did make your list. No but my number five my number five and number four it's just strange how it worked out I'm just seeing this but Pete Alonso have no idea why he's called the polar bear it's just a cool nickname I think. Have you seen the guys? He's a big white little bear. He's a big big white guy. I know. So you need to know is that really why they call him polar bear? I would think I don't know why they call him. I mean that's gotta be it because he's from Florida. It's not like it's cold. Yeah he's not like a cold weather guy or anything like that. Big white guy. I remember when I first heard his nickname was the polar bear I didn't get over it. I didn't believe it but it is and I think it's hilarious. Well I list is not going to be great guys. I think that's good one. I think that's good. Nothing wrong with that. Tony go ahead. Oh there's so many that they really are. Really really really good nicknames. I'm a star man where I want to go. How about we go with prime time. Oh Dion Sanders. He's a baseball player. He is. It was I mean it could go higher on the list really but it's just the first one that came to my name my head. I mean when he was prime time and they had the NFL show after the games were over on Sunday called prime time and he would and for the year was forty nine. It was great because he ran like about four interceptions back. And so you got here from Chris Berman right now. Yeah that's one of the best one of the best nicknames. Very very good Tony. All right I'm going to go minor all baseball and here's one that was when I was a kid I just thought this was a great nickname. He was a pitcher for the Oakland A's. His name was John Blue Moon Odom and I don't really know where that came from but it just sounded masterful to me. He just sounded like I mean you know back in the day when guys games were only on the radio. Blue Moon Odom was bigger love of life for me. He wasn't he was kind of just an ordinary pitcher. If you look up his career stats maybe one a hundred games for the A's. Blue Moon Odom I thought was a great great nickname. So he sneaks in there at number five. I love those players though everybody has that one player that they think was a legendary player. Then you look up yeah what's in any big deal. But I thought Blue Moon Odom was special when I was a kid. Number four. I hope he's uh you know getting money off of that beer. The beer that's called Blue Moon. Yeah I don't know. All right we'll have to check into that. That's something really important that we need to do. Okay okay. My number four is actually going to see if this career went better the trajectory was there but the nickname for Chris Patek the sheriff was awesome. Like that I wasn't. Didn't like it Tony didn't know. Awesome if but his his career path did not follow the the awesome nickname. So he's no longer the sheriff for my eyes. But do you remember when Adam that one time came and poked the video and said happy patty day. And then he would come in and be like the sheriff's on the mound tonight guys. And I'm saying this because Adam's on vacation. He's not listening right now. But anyways I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. Tony didn't like it but I think that was I think it was a nickname for a current player. He also gave himself that nickname. That's why I didn't like it. Yeah you can't give yourself a nickname. But the fans did latch on. Did you they didn't. Yeah you're right. So they were mad at me. You're right about that too. Yeah nicknames are only as good as the player sometimes. Exactly. All right Tony who you got for number four. I'm gonna slide into the baseball category as well. Dave Parker aka the cobra. Oh very good. Yeah the cobra. I don't know. I don't know if he nobody really knows why he was named the cobra. He did have lightning bad speed. He had like a cannon. So maybe it was something to do with that. It could have been the way he waggled his bat. But the cobra has some quality. There's some there's a lot of talking Pittsburgh right now about him getting into the Hall of Fame. And a lot of people think he deserves to be there. And he has been he's been he's had to deal with a really really deteriorating these Parkinson's. Yeah. And it was sad to see Dave Parker out at a ball game. You know looking you know a shell of his former self because he was quite quite the hulking figure. All right my number four is a guy that nobody knows recognized this guy's name is Walt Williams played for the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians. He was mostly a fourth outfielder. But he had one of my favorite nicknames of all time growing up. And if you ever look at a picture of this guy it'll make you laugh. His nickname is Walt No Neck Williams. Yeah. He had his head just laid on his shoulders basically. So Walt No Neck Williams I thought was just that I thought that was a fun nickname for a guy that I saw when I was a I didn't see him much because confirmed he does not have a neck. No well let's see what he got the nickname otherwise but I just thought that was a fun one. Walt No Neck Williams how's some of the fun that they had back in the day. Let's get out guy. My number three is actually a serious one and I didn't grow up even watching the guy play but I knew about this guy growing up as a base young baseball fan. Mr. October is an incredible nickname mainly because you're playing in the world series all the time and you're so good in the world series that they call you Mr. October. So Reggie Jackson's nickname high on my list. Yeah it's up there and he certainly earned it with his performances in those world series. Tony for number three. Some of the NBA nicknames in the late 90s I think are some of the best and I'll start with the answer Alan Ivers. Good. There's a slew of them that I'm about to give you the next three are probably going to come from basketball. I might change my mind but we'll start there the answer. Alright the answer Alan Ivers. I never really got the explanation. Did you ever hear any kind of a story with that nickname Tony or I didn't really you know other than that he had the answer for any defense you played. I guess that was it. That was it. The answer. That was it. Alright number three for me is one of my favorite of the newer age baseball nicknames Hall of Famer Scraven I like to drop his name because we ran into him at the hotel in Cooperstown. He was signing in at the registrar and they did not know who Frank Thomas was. He hurt. He hurt. I just think that's such a great descriptive nickname because I mean when when the big hurt was up there and you laid a fastball in there that's what he did to it. So I thought that's a very descriptive one. I liked it. The big hurt. Number three. Number three. Alright number two. Alright now I'm researching different nicknames but my number two is going to be Frank or the inconvenient truth. Love that nickname for Frank or the inconvenience. Yes that's his nickname after an Al Gore movie. Oh my goodness you're right he is but yes the inconvenient truth is amazing just because I have no idea what it means and that Frank or probably you know has no idea what it means but it just sounds cool. My original number two I because I went on baseball reference had no idea that Nolan Arenado was nicknamed sandblaster. Did you guys know that? I didn't. Baseball reference will give you all of that. I didn't know that one. Sandblaster. Anyway my number two is actually the inconvenient truth. Okay Tony going junior. How about the glove Gary Payton. Oh man that did such just so descriptive right. It's descriptive. I mean as soon as they said the glove even at the age I heard as oh that's because it's defense it's clearly because of that. And sure enough yeah good good late 90s is when he probably acquired that it might have been earlier at the middle 90s because he went up he went up against Jordan in the 96 finals. Oh yeah it was early 90s and you're right and the glove said he was going to put the clamps on Jordan and you know what that did to Jordan kind of lasted for about a game and maybe a half a game and then Jordan shook loose of the glove and things changed but yeah that's a great descriptive one. All right here's one for a baseball player who honestly could not play in the game today. He would strike out without ever getting to step into the batter's box and the reason for that is that Mike Hargrove used to take so long between pitches to get ready to come into the batter's box that his nickname was appropriately the human reindelay Mike Hargrove. Wasn't that wasn't that then given the Steve Traxel? Traxel got some of it. I think Ted Leitner started calling him the human reindelay. Maybe it was actually took forever but Hargrove was the original human delay. I mean step out of the box adjust every you know that's a good one that's a good one okay. Number one I really wanted to say my number one I just don't think I can give O.J. Simpson the number one spot on my list guys the juice that's a pretty good nickname Chris is like yeah I think you should go elsewhere okay then I will go with my other number one which there's a picture that floats around Twitter it's like one of those old school MLB accounts where they put out pictures of older players and it's just as fun to look at but there's a guy named George Hackett and his nickname is Faddy and if you look at his picture he is what Faddy if you look at his picture he is definitely some major league baseball player back in the day yes he's a major league he played uh for it bad like the 1900s or something but he played for the Philadelphia citizens and there you go Chris oh my god he's 400 he looks like the pills buried oh boy who filled the few citizens yeah oh he says his weight in this picture is 450 pounds but they call him Faddy so you know they didn't pull any punches back now he should be happy that they only called him Faddy they could have they got right they got right to the point yeah so here's my number one all right Tony finishes software you're out your list oh man great sports nicknames so many of them there are there are a lot of them um I had one like oh we talked about descriptive nicknames and you just knew it when you heard it how about Jason Williams white chocolate that's awfully good I mean it was it was so much better you saw this dude on the poop court and you heard the nickname white chocolate oh yeah I get it yep that makes perfect sense I will tell anybody out there that likes to watch old videos on YouTube of really really good plays in the NBA you can do a whole lot worse than calling up a video white chocolate that got to make some unbelievable play he doesn't stuff in the game that you should not be able to he was unreal I mean I mean around the back pass off the elbow back to the direction he started it he had some amazing moves on the floor during games and I I know it was in the sports center era yeah just don't remember seeing it and you know being reminded of what Jason Williams could do with the basketball he was a great ball handler yeah no question about it all right I have a million that were uh runners up and uh meet you know I mean you could cut I mean baseball to me is still the glory spot for nicknames and I was thinking of you know if I was pitching I'd love to throw a pitch to a guy named pudge um and I'd love to have my first baseman named stretch and if they hit a ground ball to the left side of the infield I'd like the wizard and the human vacuum cleaner over there to get it oh even vacuum cleaner that's a great one I mean so many of them out there but basketball baseball definitely rival each other they do but I'm gonna I'm gonna go with number one today um and it's you know could change if I did the list next week and I know his name is dirt and major league baseball but I don't think it should be I think time has gone we should forgive him but I think Charlie hustle is one of the greatest nicknames of all time Pete Rose and yeah it's you know just looking I mean this guy loved to play the game so much Tony when the ball four wouldn't even be to the home plate and he'd already be standing on first base when he got a walk I just nobody loved the game and exuded the joy of the game and I thought Charlie hustle was a great name because I'm sure some of them think it was gonna be ball force well he had been on it so oh wow you get ready just get done saying how much you love the guy I did love the guy but uh yeah he made some mistakes we made some mistakes all right about the hicke from French lick oh very good yeah yeah what do you think of do you think he liked that one the hicke from frankly I don't know if there you like it uh black mamba was awesome that is awesome yeah subscribe Kobe Bryant perfectly yeah so many great nicknames I wish they'd bring a lot of them in highlight reel that's a good one to dominate Dominique Jordan's air air it's a simple yeah no I mean but they they got to bring nicknames back they do bring them back to sports we're missing I think we know too much about these guys now that's true yeah so we can't like have like a you know a lot of nicknames we just kind of they got and then we just made up why they got it right now we know we know too much about them yeah all right little trip down memory lane

playing i'll go see the gas house gang you want to see the fillies i'll go see the wiz kids you want to go see the reds i'd rather see the big red machine or the miracle Mets who was murderers row murders row that was the Yankees so the 20s yeah i mean yeah those uh the Pittsburgh pirates were the lumber company i mean come on i mean these are these are great names you know legendary make it

number four it's just strange how it worked down i'm just seeing this but p olanzo have no idea why he's called the polar bear it's just a cool nickname i think have you seen the guys a big white white guy he's a big big white guy i know saw you need to know is that really why they call him polar bear i would think i don't know why they call me that's gotta be it because he's from florida it's not like it's cold yeah he's not like a cold weather guy or anything like that big white guy i remember when i first heard his nickname was the polar bear i i didn't get over it i didn't believe it but it is and i think it's hilarious well i list is not going to be great guys i think that's good one i think that's good nothing wrong with that tony go ahead oh there's so many that there really are really really really good nicknames um i'm a star man where i want to go how about we go with prime time oh dion cenas he's a big fan it was i mean it could go higher on the list really but it's just the first one that came to my name my head i mean when he was prime time and they had the NFL show after the games were over on sunday called prime time and he went and for the year of forty nine it was great because he ran like about four interceptions back and so you got to hear from chris berman chills right now yeah that's that's one of the best one of the best nicknames that is a very very good tony all right i'm going to go uh mine are all baseball um and here's one that was when i was a kid i just thought this was uh a great nickname he was a picture for the okoneys his name was john blue moon odom and i don't really know where that came from but it just sounded masterful to me he just sounded like i mean you know back in the day when guys games were only on the radio uh blue moon odom was bigger love life for me he wasn't he was kind of just an ordinary picture if you look up his career stats maybe one hundred games for the ace but blue moon odom i thought was a great great nickname so he sneaks in there at number five i love those players though everybody has that one player that they think was a legendary player then you look up his stats wasn't any big deal but i i thought blue moon odom was special when i was a kid number four i hope he's uh you know getting money off of that beer the beer that's called blue moon yeah i don't know all right we'll have to check into that that's something really important that we need to do okay okay my number four is actually going to see if this career went better the trajectory was there but the nickname for chris paddock the sheriff uh was awesome like that i know i wasn't didn't like it tony didn't know awesome if but his his career path did not follow the the awesome nickname so he's no longer the sheriff for my eyes but do you remember when adam that one time came and poked in our studio and said happy paddock day and then he would come in and be like the sheriff's on the mount tonight guys and i'm saying this because adam's on vacation he's not listening right now but anyway yes i thought it was a good one i thought that we're turning like it but i think that was i thought it was okay at least it was a nickname for a current player we don't have too many else that nickname i think that's why i didn't like it yeah you can't give yourself a nickname can't give yourself a nickname both but the fans did latch on did you know they didn't uh yeah you're ready to write about that too yeah nicknames are only as good as the player sometimes exactly all right tony who you got for number four i'm gonna slide into the baseball category as well dave parker aka the cobra oh very good yeah the cobra i don't know i don't know nobody nobody really knows why he was named the cobra he did have lightning bad speed he had like a cannon so maybe it was something to do with that it could have been the way he waggled his bat but the cobra is a quality there's some uh there's a lot of talking pittsburgh right now about him getting into the hall of fame and a lot of people think he deserves to be there and he has been uh he's been uh he's had to deal with a really really deteriorating these parkings and yeah and it was sad to see dave parker out at a ball game you know looking you know a shell of his former self because he was quite a quite the hulking figure all right my number four is a guy that nobody knows recognize this guy's name is walt williams played for the chicago white socks in the cleveland indians he's mostly a fourth out fielder but he had one of my favorite nicknames of all time growing up and if you ever look at a picture this guy it'll make you laugh his nickname is walt no neck williams and he had his head just laid on his shoulders basically uh so walt no neck williams i thought was just that i thought that was a fun nickname uh for a guy that i saw when i was i didn't see him much because confirmed he does not have a neck no well let's see wouldn't it got the nickname otherwise but uh i just thought that was a fun one walt no neck williams how's some of the fun that they had back in the day let's get stuff out guy my number three is actually a serious one and i didn't grow up even watching the guy play but i knew about this guy growing up as a base young baseball fan mr october is an incredible nickname mainly because you're playing in the world series all the time and you're so good in the world series that they call you mr october so reggie jackson's nickname high on my list yeah it's up there um and he certainly earned it uh with his performances in those world series uh Tony for number three some of the NBA nicknames in the late 90s i think are some of the best and i'll start with the answer allen iris good dick day there's a slew of them that i'm about to give you the next three are probably going to come from basketball i might change my mind but we'll start there the answer all right the answer allen iris i never really got the explanate did you ever hear any kind of a story with that nickname tony or i mean i didn't really you know other than that he had the answer for anything that you played i guess that was it that was it yeah answer that was it uh all right number three for me is one of my favorite of the newer age baseball nicknames hall of famer uh scraven i like to drop his name because we ran into him at the hotel in cooper's town he was signing in uh at the registrar and they did not know who frank thomas was correct big hurt i just think that's such a great descriptive nickname because i mean when when the big hurt was up there and you laid a fastball in there that's what he did to it so i thought that's a very descriptive one i liked it the big hurt number three number three all right number two score right now you know i'm researching um different nicknames but my number two is going to be frank or the incovina truth love that nickname for frank or the inconvenience truth yes that's his nickname after an al gore movie oh my goodness you're right he is but yes the incovina truth is amazing just because i have no idea what it means in that frank or probably you know has no idea what it means but it's just sounds cool my original number two i because i went on baseball reference had no idea that no one or another was nicknamed sandblaster did you guys know that i didn't know baseball reference would give you all of that yeah i didn't know that one sandblaster anyway uh my number two is actually the incovina truth okay tony going junior how about the glove gary patan oh man that did such just so descriptive it's descriptive it i mean so does they said the glove even at the age i heard as oh that's because it's defense it's clearly because of that and sure enough yeah good hit late 90s is when he probably acquired that it might have been earlier at the middle 90s because he went up he went up against jordan in the 96 finals so it was early 90s and you're right and uh the glove said he was going to put the clamps on jordan and you know what that did to jordan yeah kind of lasted for about a game and maybe a half a game and the jordan shook loose of the glove and things changed but yeah that's a great descriptive one all right here's one for a baseball player uh who honestly could not play in the game today uh he would strike out without ever getting to step into the batter's box and the reason for that is that mike hargrove used to take so long between pitches to get ready to come into the batter's box that his nickname was appropriately the human rain delay mike hargrove wasn't that didn't given the steve tracks tracks all got some of it i think ted leitner started calling him the human rain delay maybe it was actually took forever but hargrove was the original human delay i mean step out of the box adjust every you know that's a good one that's a good one okay number one uh i really wanted to say my number one i just don't think i can give oj simpson the number one spot on my list guys the juice that's a pretty good nickname chris is like yeah i think you should go elsewhere okay then i will go with my other number one which there's a picture that floats around twitter it's like one of those old school mlb accounts where they put out pictures of uh older players and it's just as fun to look at but there's a guy named george hackett and his nickname is fatty and if you look at his picture he isn't even what fatty if you look at his picture he is definitely it's a major league baseball player back in the day yes he's a major league he played uh for it bad like the 1900s or something but he played for the philadelphia citizens and there you go chris oh my god he's he's 400 pounds he looks like the pills berry
