After a recent article that I posted was changed I felt it was my obligation to the fans of mwball.com to write an article. I was merely trying to bring some humor and enjoyment in an otherwise boring post (because clearly the game wasn’t interesting: MW 20 Suncrest Gym 7). This is when the “Iron Fist” of webmaster Scott came crashing down and altering my post.

Why was the article changed? Well, in my efforts to think of something funny, I created a nickname for Scott Koon. What is it you ask? Well, I’ll get to that point near the end of the article because I’m saving the best (or at least the purpose for the article) for last. Also I’m hoping that if you remember one thing from my article it’s Scotts nickname.

So in this fine article on this “FREEDOM OF SPEECH” website I’m going to try to think of some possible nicknames for everyone on the team. First a disclaimer, if you already have a nickname I can’t change it, nicknames stick. It’s like Michael “Air” Jordan, you can’t change his nickname. Never. Ever.

Next, nicknames must be relatively clean and you can scream them at the guy/girl without people being offended. There are little kids at the game people plus dirty nicknames are usually only funny once.

Last, you can’t nickname yourself.

So here I’ll give the people whom already have nicknames:

Jackson - “Tre” - He’s number 3, I’m assuming that’s how he got. Don’t really know how but thats what he’s called. I guess we could call him by his real name. That should be a question on mwball.com “What is Jackson’s real name?” See how many people know that one…

Johnny - “Bull” No idea how he got this either, other than he plays third base and sometimes line drives are about as scary as a bull charging at you. NOTE: I just spoke to Tom, he said he got the nickname from high school football. I was close.

Tom - “Coach” - Self-explanatory isn’t it? He’s in charge. Early in the season he was called a “homerun hitter” Ah, the glory days right Tom?

Bryan - “Wimer” or “The Wimer” - What is a Wimer? Well, its the last name of Bryan on our team. Apparently he’s like Jackson (actually, nothing like Jackson) and goes by his last name. I tried and tried to think of a nickname for him but Wimer just fits so smoothly. I may also be biased since I’ve been calling him this for like 15 years. If you have suggestions just post it in the comments box.

Now, onto the list of people who don’t have nicknames.

David Craig - Well, earlier in the season we had a practice (I wouldn’t really call it practice only me, Dave, Scott and Tom showed up, DEDICATION RIGHT THERE!) and somehow we got into a conversation of why we are on the team or how we got on the team. Dave made a comment that he was on the team because he was “sexy”. Ummm, yeah…..I’m not calling him that. Anyone who wants to thats fine, you’ll just be sitting on the bench, alone. He seem’s to be injury prone, even more than me. We could call him “E.R.”

James Sanders - I have no clue what to call him. He’s our pitcher, he pulls the ball foul all the time. Wow, absolutely nothing comes to mind. I encourage suggestions.

**James and Dave were definitely the hardest names to think of. So in my effort to please fans, I found a website that had a nickname creator (http://channelone.com/life/2002/01/16/nickname_o_matic/). James nickname came out as “Johnny Sockpuppet”, not really that funny. However Dave’s was pretty funny, how about Dave “DJ Cowboy” Craig. Why is this funny? Dave is a die-hard Cowboys fan**

Jonathan Herbert - “Slingshot” is the first thing that comes to mind. Have you ever seen him throw the ball on a double play? It’s sort of like a slingshot. Sometimes when you shoot a slingshot it’s right on target, other times not even close, it’ll shoot about 30 feet to the left or right or up or down.

Randy Herbert - “Gopher” This is easy and Randy can thank Dave for this one. Every homerun, every foul ball Randy goes and gets. “Foul ball, March Westin on that ball,” the umpire says. Gopher starts walking…

Tyler Jackson - Jackson’s (Tre) little brother. He’s going to hate this but I say “Double J” Jackson Jr. Oh yeah, he’s going to hate that. Sorry, once something is in my head its stuck there and I can’t think of anything else. We could call you Rookie since your easily the youngest guy there.

Nick Mick - Well, I can’t give myself a nickname. It’s a rule. Steve calls me “Big Mick” because I’m a Mark McGwire fan (you know, Big Mac). Suggestions can be made in the comment box and remember “Keep it clean.” Like Nick Mick is hard to rhyme with.

Now, the reason for this entire article:

Scott Koon - Scott “Coo Coo Ca-Choo” Koon. He didn’t like it so he erased it from the pages of mwball.com. So I had to put it back in just so the people know. Actually I had a couple ideas on this name:

A. Scott “Coo Coo Ca-Choo” Koon

B. Scott “Coo Coo Ca-”Koon

I don’t know which I like better. I think I prefer “A”. Just imagine when he comes up to bat “LET’S GO COO COO” or how about when he hits a homerun “Scott “Coo Coo Ca-choo” Koon with the homerun”. Oh yeah, thats sweet.

Well, that wraps up this article. I’m sure webmaster Scott is loving it right now. He’s probably wanting to erase the entire article, to control the propaganda of March Westin-ites. Sounds sort of Communistic don’t you think? We could think of a nickname along those lines. How about…Scott “Commy” Koon?
