Mordecai
Here are our favorite baseball nicknames. Send yours to siwriters@simail.com for a Fan Favorites gallery.

Brown's nickname is pretty self-explanatory -- Brown lost two parts of two fingers on his right hand during a farming accident. It didn't slow the famous Cubs pitcher down as he retired with a career record of 239-130 with an ERA of 2.06.
