MLB players allowed to wear nickname jerseys Aug. 25-27

Pretty cool marketing idea by MLB to boost jersey sales.

Nickname jerseys set for MLB Players Weekend

Here are some of the nicknames Mariners players will be using:

Robinson Cano: DON'T YOU KNOW
Kyle Seager: COREY'S BROTHER
Jean Segura: EL MAMBO
Jarrod Dyson: ZOOMBIYA
Nelson Cruz: BOOMSTICK
Guillermo Heredia: EL CONDE
Edwin Diaz: SUGAR
Yovani Gallardo: YO
James Paxton: BIG MAPLE
Carlos Ruiz: CHOOCH

I lol'd at Kyle Seager's choice.

I like how two of the jerseys pictured just feature the player's last name like a regular jersey. Zunino and Gamel have to have nicknames, right?

They go by "Nino" and "Ganimal" in our house, MLB should have called

Am I the only one who hates Maple Jim? Such a stupid cliche name to attratch the Canucks.

Josh Phegley has the best one. "PTBNL"

Corey's Brother is hilarious though.

Where's HE HATE ME?

Sorry, I see these and am reminded of that one-and-done football league that allowed nicknames.
