JG....Grandpa is not my nickname....it is what my grandson calls me...Grandpa on PP is a secret identity like Jerry Garcia.

I have been curious for a long time about the nicknames particularly in baseball....I suppose wrassling has similar names but baseball's are these cutesy monickers like "Booneeeee"
"Cammmmeeeee" any name can just get a suffix of eeeeee and there you go. But just when I see a pattern to it all along comes Lou Pinella and he is not Loueeeee or Pineeeeee but he is "the skipper"

Used to be stuff like " the Bronx Bomber" not
Rutheeeee.

I guess I have been mind numbed by the endless bickering over WSR and nervous about the North of Falcon meetings.

Tomorrow I'll start getting ready for springer fishing on the Columbia and forget about "Bone" and "Itcheee"
