Great Baseball Nicknames - Updated

On another baseball-related post we got into a discussion on good baseball nicknames. These days there are a lot of bad nicknames (A-Rod, I-Rod, Dice-K) "creatively" derived from name shortening or initials. Here are some better nicknames I remember from my 40+ years as a baseball fan. Please help me add to the list.

Animals
Ron "The Penguin" Cey - Cey's body shape made this nickname a natural
Greg "The Bull" Luzinski - Likewise for Luzinski
Andres "The Big Cat" Galarraga - For his catlike fielding moves at first base
Andre "The Hawk" Dawson - an outstanding fielder early in his career
Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson
Mark "The Bird" Fidrych - Fidrych's flighty behavior was probably the source of this one
Bill "Mad Dog" Madlock - sound alike with last name
Jim "Mudcat" Grant
Dave "The Cobra" Parker
Larvell "Sugar Bear" Blanks

Whitey "The White Rat" Herzog

Ralph "The Roadrunner" Garr

Aeronautics/Astronomy
Roger "The Rocket" Clemens - Fastball velocity to be sure
Bill "Spaceman" Lee - Lee had a "spacy" view of life in the minds of some
Bob "Whirlybird" Walk - Like Lee, but closer to Earth

John "Blue Moon" Odom
