Veteran sports scribe Murray Lupica coined the nicknames for a host of Yankees legends including:
Joe Dimaggio, THE YANKEE CLIPPER
Mickey Mantle, THE MICK
Don Mattingly, DONNIE BASEBALL
With the help of his grandson Ben, he tries to overcome writers block to create some new nicknames for some of today’s current Yankees. Lets see if we can help him out.
Chien-Ming Wang, ME PITCH SO WONG
Andy Pettite, MR HGH
Johnny Damon, JOHNNY DISGRACE-BALL
Nick Swisher, MR. SWINGS BOTH WAYS
Joba Chamberlain, THE CHAMBERPOT
