I love these guesses.

But none of them is correct.

I really thought I’d gotten one. He just LOOKS like Brosnan.
How about Pierce Brosnan?

But you didn't say it was Christopher Columbus!!

Ah ha! Got it, didn’t I?!?

Erm, well if we are going to call Milton Bradley nicknames, mine is Fischer Price: yes, you heard it here first..

Nope, it’s not Columbus, either.

DINGDINGDING!!!

It is. Well done. Mikkelsen pitched only ten games for the Cubs; before that he had been in the WS for the Yankees, and afterwards had a few good years for the Dodgers.

It was yet another pointless 1960’s acquisition. Later he was traded for Jack Lamabe, who was dealt for the return of Paul Popovich.

Awesome!

I was fairly certain this was never going to happen. Pouring over images of the late 60’s baseball cards looking for those ridiculous glasses pays off!

kinda looks like Joey Amalfitano

just not enough of a unibrow

Remember when Cookie and Peanuts Lowry used to coch the bases? What a combination

Cookie and Peanuts. You just don’t see baseball nicknames like that anymore.

"Hey bartender, Jobu needs a refill !!!!!!!" - Eddie Harris

by willie mays hayes' gloves on Jan 29, 2009 4:44 PM CST up reply actions  

no...

“Cookie” and “Peanuts” are nicknames you are more likely to see at a “ranch” in/near Vegas.
