What the HELL is the reason baseball fans must have those stupid nicknames for their favorite stupid baseball player?

Booney
Camy
GAR
The Sheriff
AROD
Junior
ItchyBalls


And why is the baseball stadium that has a huge name on it "SAFECO FIELD" called " The SAFE"???

Why does baseball have to nickname everything? Is it because the game itself is so friggin boring?
