Sparky was the Captain Hook, if I recall -- quick to go the bullpen
Sean Casey was the Mayor
Lee May was the Big Bopper of Birmingham
Ernie Lombardi was the Schnoz
Dmitri Young was Da Meat Hook

I'll let somebody else guess some of the others.

Anyone else going to join in?

I am not saying you are wrong, because Captain Hook sounds right to me as well, but I was going off the list I had found. For the ones you mentioned, the below was their nicknames:

George Anderson (manager, 1970–1978): "Sparky" - too obvious that there was a need to look at another nickname, like Captain Hook
Sean Casey (1998–2005): "The Mayor" - easy one
Lee May (1965–1971) "The Big Bopper" - nice job
Ernie Lombardi (1932–1941) "Schnozz" or "Lumbago" - That was a hard one, great job.
Dmitri Young (1998–2001): "Da Meathook" - great job on that as well. I had no idea until I saw this list.

I give you 5 of 5, because the Sparky thing seemed like a trick question since they listed his name with his nickname.


I will give the Ron Robinson one here, because I was like, WTF?

Ron Robinson (1984–1990) "True Creature"

Well, I gave others a chance:

Adam Dunn - The Big Donkey
Aroldis Chapman - The Cuban Missile
Eric Davis: Eric the Red
Ted Kluszweski - The Big Klu
Brandon Phillips - Dat Dude
Pete Rose - Charlie Hustle
David Weathers - Stormy Weathers

I'm sure I'll kick myself for the one's I failed to recall...
