	If you ever need to consider a replacement, there's always Sam McDowell (1961-1975)

	A bit surprised you don't have Roy Halladay on that list- except he took Dwight Gooden's nickname... Also, when I saw Dennis Martinez, all I could hear was Dave van Horne's call of "EL PRESIDENTE, EL PERFECTO!!!" RIP Expos

	Seaver was more commonly called "the franchise". It also was "Moe" Drabowski and "Pancakes" Palmer. I also question whether many of these names were widely used: Koufax, certainly, was not regularly given a nickname

	Drabowski fixed. Added "the franchise" to Seaver and "Pancakes" to Palmer (though the 3 sources I used all listed his nickname as only "Cakes").

	Dice-K isn't a nickname, per se. That's how you pronounce his first name.

	Since no one had guessed Sutton or Wilhelm, I replaced them with Leonard and McDowell. I will also replace Koufax soon, if no one guesses his nickname. Need a suggestion for replacement.

	Never heard the entries for Jim Palmer or Fernando before, and Koufax is a stretch. Also - J.R. - not really a nickname as much as his initials. Suggested replacements: Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams (although as a Phillies fan, I would encourage you to accept Mitch F*cking Williams as an alternate), Grover Cleveland Alexander was "Old Pete" or just "Pete" Don Drysdale was "Big D", Roland "Rollie" Fingers, Carl Hubbell was "King Carl" or more often "The Meal Ticket," Christy Mathewson was "Big Six"
