My sister gave Harper the nickname "Pooner" here a few years ago because she said Harper was close to Harpoon and Pooner was fun to say. He has been "Pooner" ever since.

Also love calling Ranger..."Ranger Rick"

I like Stotty for Stott, but “Snack Pack” could work with a nod to Puddin’ Head.

I always call Bryce “The Chosen One.”

Castellanos is Daddy. Nick Daddy or Daddy Nick or Daddy Castey. Or just Daddy. Castellanos is Daddy.

Does anyone else call Seranthony “Sir Tony?”

I miss Harry K. How many nicknames from 2008 were his doing? Or announcers in general? ESPN started and many great nicknames were born. Doesn’t seem like anyone does that anymore. Best we’ve got is Barkann declaring BCIB for JT (which works BTW). AI took a hilarious stab at it. I’d love to see nicknames and “Flotillas” make an appearance at CBP again.
