AS OPPOSED TO DON ZIMMER, THE STALEST: Apropos of nothing whatsoever, please pay a moment's homage to my two favorite nicknames in baseball history -- Arlie Latham, "The Freshest Man On Earth", and Bob "Death To Flying Things" Ferguson. You can learn more about Arl E. Fresh both here and here.

You can read more about baseball nicknames on this discussion board. Where have they gone? Other than calling pleasingly plump Rockies reliever Rich Garces "El Guapo", what's left?
