Sangy.....one of my favorite all time Pirates!

Speedy for a catcher, free-swinging Manny Sanguillen had great hitting ability, a strong arm, and a cat-like quality behind the plate. The ever-smiling Panamanian twice finished third in the NL batting race: in his second full season (1970), when he batted .325, and again in 1975, when he hit a career-high .328. The bad-ball-hitting Sanguillen was a good contact hitter, but rarely walked. Overshadowed by Johnny Bench, he edged out the Cincinnati catcher on TSN's NL All-Star Team in 1971 - the only time between 1967 and 1975 that Bench was not selected. He was durable, catching more than 100 games in seven of his first eight full seasons with the Pirates. The exception was 1973, the season after his close friend, Roberto Clemente, was killed in an airplane crash; Sanguillen was chosen to replace Clemente in right field. The move did not work and Sanguillen returned to catching. After playing for five division-champion Pirate clubs, Sanguillen was sent with $100,000 to Oakland for Chuck Tanner in a rare player-for-manager trade on November 5, 1976. Pittsburgh reacquired the popular Sanguillen in April 1978. His pinch single with two out in the ninth in Game Two of the 1979 World Series gave the Pirates a 3-2 victory.

GL today Underdogg...let's grab some cash tonight!

And get out the pictionary for those who can't get the nicknames.....

Halos....who wears 'em but Angels
Rattlers.....aka. Snakes, therefore Diamond Backs
Phanatics....obviously the mascot for Philadelphia Phillies
Spankees....uh, Yankmee, er, Yankees
Fish.....would be Marlins....

yeh thats easy enough, cuz Underdog keeps it simple for those of us who dont want to think to much (me).....

but you joebear, you and your confusing nicknames are waaaay out in the stratosphere buddy.

Like:

"Crunchy Peanut Butter Bar" vs. "Hex of the Neonate" (Yankees vs. Red Sox)

that one was meant to be "Crunchy Peanut Butter Bar" to signify Babe Ruth, and "Hex of the Neonate" just a thesaurus away from "Curse of the Bambino"

and trust me, if Joepapa hasn't done this yet, he will, and he has posted more complex nicknames than these

By the way, I take pride in being able to have fun with nicknames because we all know how boring they can be. Arkansas has some of the best high school nicknames, they get right to the point....no more freaking Tigers, hell no, they go for nicknames like:

Conway Wampus Cats
West Ark Varmits
Lake City Catfish

but how about his one in Ohio.....

The Cleveland East Tech Scarabs......look that one up in your Funk and Wagnall....a Scarab is a DUNG BEETLE......now why didn't they just say so in the first place....LMFAO.....like a school in West Virginia...the Poca DOTS!

Now those are nicknames sir, and you sir, are no

















John F.. Kennedy! LMAO
