What Should be in a Nickname?
About this episode
This episode explores the significance and evolution of nicknames in baseball.
That’s the question that this episode of All About Baseball answers. A listener requested an episode on nicknames, and I tried to place a larger context around the topic and opine that nicknames no longer, “augment a given name and provide a richer and more explicit denotation.” But that’s only part of this story. Listen in to hear the rest of it. https://sabr.org/journal/article/an-analysis-of-baseball-nicknames/ bcpodcastbaseball@gmail.com Music: “Field Grass,” by Sergei Pavkin
