Any catchers out there that have a chance?

The PA guy at Comisky announcing Ron Karkovice sticks with me to this day.

i have officially patented that name




jokes for both comments, of course

Worst Nickname EVER!

b-rad wasn't so hot either.

Who is that? That is another real bad nickname regardless of who it is.

I call Justin Morneau J-Mo, and Joe Mauer Joe-Ma. Better than the nicknames they throw around in the clubhouse: Mourney..I mean cmon, what the shat is that?

B-rad was the nickname for Jamie Kennedy's character in "Malibu's most wanted"- It's actually pretty funny cause the character's name was Brad.

Thats why it clicked, I've got that movie and its good for a laugh every now and agin. I've known the nickname, but just thought some run of the mill ball player had it at one point

Heap (brian mccann) probably won't pass piazza in power numbers. But I giuess if you look at power hitting catchers he is it right now.

I hate to say it, but I've got to agree with Gimore. Mauer keeping up th power #'s is unrealistic, but McCann may be a possibility. Mauer is going to be a career .350+ hitter with an average of 10-20HR a season, but what McCann lacks in average he makes up for in XBH.

I want some to try and disagree with me that these aren't the best catchers in each of their respective leagues. Offensively and Defensively that is.

V-Mart!

Not really, unfortunately.

The mention of Ron Karkovice got me thinking about Tony Eusebio...anyone remember him?

I think it originally belonged to B-Rad Rad-Ke
