Others around the league

1B Joey Votto "Who" (on First, shame Peraza's isn't "what")
Max Scherzer "Brown Eye" (yeah I know he has just the one, but it also has a nasty meaning)
5'8" Stroman "HDMH" (height doesn't measure heart)
Adam Jones "Roots"
Nick Markakis "TTT"
Hunter Pence "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
Doolittle "Obi Sean"
Luke Jackson "Skywalker"

A cob is a male swan, like a drake is a male duck, rooster is ... etc.

Thanks!  Hopefully, this season is not Cobb's "swan song".  I long for his overextended, over-emoted leg kick.  ?

One of the many reasons I miss Adam...I  look forward to the names he'd unveil for Players' Weekend, even if I'd have no clue what the rationale behind them is. Liked Pappo, loved La Gente, Roots is pretty cool as well.

As far as the others, at least Brooks had the cognizance (or maybe not - just dumb luck) to use a "y" rather than an "ie", since the latter is, well, pretty much taken.
