I actually had a nickname as a player myself. When I played high school football in Texas, strong safety, they called me Choo Choo because they said I hit like a train.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My nickname, T-Wood, came from football because I was so small, but I used knock people's helmets off. All I wanted to do was hit. I didn't care about interceptions or touchdowns.
You're not allowed to give yourself a nickname. This holds true in life as well as in poker.
I've never given myself a nickname.
I nicknamed everyone in the gym. It was easier than remembering their names.
None of my friends call me L.C. That was just a high school nickname, and nobody refers to me like that anymore.
In America, people really struggle with my name, so I don't have a nickname as such. I've had Sharlito, Sheldon, Charldo, really interesting variations on the name. Some of them can get it, but many can't.
I've been very fortunate to dodge a nickname throughout my entire career. I've never had one.
I was nicknamed Skeeter in Little League because I was small and fast, like a mosquito flying across the outfield.
I got that nickname my first spring training camp with the Expos in 1974. Tim Foli, Ken Singleton and Mike Jorgensen started calling me 'Kid' because I was trying to win every sprint. I was trying to hit every pitch out of the park.
I went through baseball as 'a player to be named later.'
