Some ones that come to mind are Dexter Fowler, Shane Victorino and Ben Revere (fast – like Paul Revere…). There are tons of great names in baseball history – many of them nicknames though. Perhaps the best example from the sport has to be former Houston Astro Jeff Bagwell. One would assume he got to the “bag well”. Which he did…

Jeff Bagwell (15 Season Averages – including only 38 games in 2005)
.297 AVG / 30 HR / 33 2B / 155 H / 101 R / 102 RBI / 94 BB /.408 OPB

4,175 career bases (less 2005) 2,314 hits
