    I think "Babe" has help its own. You can't mention it in the sports world without thinking of George Herman Ruth.

    My favorite all-time is "The Splendid Splinter." My favorite current nickname is "Junior," which will probably stand the test of time, too.

    "Old Boot Nose" for Sid Abel was one I always liked.

    Not really a moniker, but I've got to go with...

    I never understood why that was funny. It was always clearly pronounced "Koontz," and it's not spelled "Kunt"

    The one I use is manufactured by Phillips, is the Brilliance model 201B and the screen is 19 inches diagonally.

    Oh, wait ...
