Great sports nicknames

I have always had an affinity for the nickname for Mordecai Brown, pitched in the Major Leagues from 1920 to 1945. They called him "Three Finger Brown. . .mostly because he only had three fingers on his pitching hand (if you don't count his thumb as a "finger"). Truth be told, he probably should have been called Four Finger Brown, but that's what makes his nickname so fun.

I thought it was because he always was sticking his fingers in people's asses. I just learned something new.
 
On the meaner side, I like Harangutan for Aaraon Harang
 
"Cy" Young
"Satchel" Paige
"Shoeless Joe" Jackson
 
I thought "J-Ho" was pretty awful. He deserved better.
