	I would root for Mattingly to make the HOF just to see 'Donny Baseball' on this quiz... it is certainly in the nickname HOF at least

	Mr. Feller was also known as 'bullet bob'.

	fun quiz

	grays1705:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 13:07 GMT	1 point
	What about Joseph Lowell "Flash" Gordon, Jesse Cail "Crab" Burkett, Charles Herbert "Red" Ruffing, George "Mule" Suttles, Joseph Floyd "Arky" Vaughan or George Lange "High Pockets" Kelly?

	Wagner's first name was Johannes, not John.

	@grays1705- Excellent suggestions for a sequel, but as this is a missing word, I'm already pushing the limits by having 30 answers. @LinuxLinus- Wikipedia says that, but the Baseball Almanac, Baseball-Reference and the Hall of Fame all list his name as John Peter Wagner. I'm going to go with them over Wikipedia.

	Wow, some of these nicknames are so commonly known that I've never heard those players/managers called by their actual names.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Very fun quiz. I had no idea that Honus wasn't Honus's given name.

	"Lefty" Grove and Gomez, "Hammerin'" Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, the "Say Hey Kid," "Iron Horse" Lou Gehrig, Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn, Willie "Stretch" McCovey, Dorel "Whitey" Herzog--since you're including managers, Rich "Goose" Gossage, "Steady" Eddie Murray, "Smokey" Joe Williams, Lewis "Hack" Wilson, Charles "Chick" Hafey, Hazen "Kiki" Cuyler, James "Pud" Galvin, Charles "Dazzy" Vance, Harold "Pie" Traynor, Michael "King" Kelly, Charles "Kid" Nichols. Just curious, why is it "pushing limits" to have 30 answers in a missing word quiz? Anyway, plenty for a sequel.

	@ianmez- Daily Dose quizzes (missing word, word scramble and word ladder) are intended to be quick quizzes, in the 1-3 minute range and so are generally around 20 questions.

	CactusZ:	Aug 6th, 2011 at 03:54 GMT	-1 points
	You kinda have two ideas jammed into one quiz. Guys who had nicknames (Leo Durocher, Phil Rizzuto, Bob Feller) and guys who were only referred to by their nicknames (Babe Ruth, Catfish Hunter, Whitey Ford).

	Hejman:	Aug 6th, 2011 at 06:07 GMT	1 point
	Well, whether Sparky went by George or not, Sparky is still a nickname. So be it Yogi or Joltin' Joe, they're all nicknames. The only difference is how frequently they got used.

	pita:	Aug 6th, 2011 at 18:50 GMT	-2 points
	ianmez, leave Smokey Joe "Williams" off your sequel

	ianmez:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 01:20 GMT	3 points
	@pita--why?

	Wes_Mantooth:	Aug 9th, 2011 at 07:06 GMT	0 points
	Frankie Firsch - "The Fordham Flash". "Wahoo" Sam Crawford. Grover Cleveland "Pete" Alexander.

	Wes_Mantooth:	Aug 9th, 2011 at 07:10 GMT	1 point
	Christy Mathewson - "Big Six". Walter Johnson - "The Big Train." Maybe the two greatest pitchers of all time.

	Nolij:	Aug 10th, 2011 at 11:53 GMT	2 points
	Denton True Young is another fellow who went by a nickname.

	Hejman:	Aug 10th, 2011 at 14:02 GMT	2 points
	There appears to be some confusion. I am not suggesting that this quiz contains EVERY nickname of EVERY player in the Hall of Fame. We now return you to your regular programming...

	TeganX7:	Aug 11th, 2011 at 04:46 GMT	1 point
	Maybe for verion 3: "The Big Hurt" Frank Thomas (he should be there very soon), Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez (also should be there soon), Robin "The Kid" Yount, Luis "Old Aches and Pains" Aparicio, and "The Oklahoma Kid" Mickey Mantle (I think he was also called the "Commerce Comet").

	FYI - It's just the Baseball Hall of Fame, not the MLB Hall of Fame. One of the correct answers never even played in MLB.

	midlifecrisis:	Aug 11th, 2011 at 18:11 GMT	1 point
	I can't say I know many of these names.

	Hejman:	Aug 12th, 2011 at 14:16 GMT	1 point
	Good point, sfturd, I'll make the change.

	I thought the Wagner one was going to be the Flying Dutchman. My 2nd favorite baseball nickname, only behind the Tris Speaker's "Grey Eagle".
