The late Jeffrey Leonard has two really good nicknames, and one, IMO, great one:

Early on, he earned the name 'Hack-man'

In his prime with the Giants he was 'One Flap Down'.

Those two, especially the second one were very widely used.


The third one did not have same 'following', but I love it:

Here are three pictures depicting the source of this nickname:

'Ole Penitentiary Face'

How about 'The Cobra' and 'Charlie Hustle'?

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I know his nickname is his last name but I still love it when Aaron Judge gets the All Rise.

According to his SABR bio Leonard tried to get his nickname "upgraded" to Correctional Facility Face but it didn't get much traction. Used to watch him play when I lived in the Bay Area in the 'eighties. He was one sullen hombre.
