All "Fish and Related Things" Sports Heros

Post by EarlJam » July 13th, 2011, 1:06 pm

How many names can we come up with? "Official" nicknames are allowed. Also, it can be related to fish (e.g. Ocean, Coral, Scales, Shrimp etc.) I'll begin.

1. Jim "Catfish" Hunter - Baseball
2. Kevin Bass - Baseball
3. Steve Trout - Baseball
4. "The Shark" Greg Norman - Golf

I just looked over the all-time Duke Basketball roster, and I couldn't think of any of our players who had "fish and related things" nicknames.

By the way, according to the Huffington Post, Sarah Palin's nickname in high school basketball was "the barracuda." :-?

Camden Riversharks, independent minor league team. Took the young Turks to a game there a couple weeks ago. Beautiful ballpark in the shadows of the Ben Franklin bridge, with the Philly skyline in the background...
