Imagine starting your first job and your co-workers christen you with a new name. You become Creepy, Cuckoo, or Tomato Face. Before long, your nickname spreads from the workplace into the public sphere. Your true first name slowly fades away. Would you have enough self-esteem to repudiate the unflattering nickname before it's too late? In the first half-century of professional baseball, almost every player in the minor or major leagues had a nickname. A large number of these nicknames served to glorify the skills, personalities and appearance of the owners. A great many players embraced the nicknames given to them during, and importantly, after their careers ended. Some wore their new names to the grave. Many of the nicknames bestowed upon players were unflattering if not downright insulting, such as Fatty, Shorty, Piggy, Pussy, etc. Many players fought to shed their new monikers, but a surprising number of players made little or no effort to reclaim the name their parents gave them. The Low Self-Esteem Club drills down into baseball history to spotlight these individuals. This book identifies over 125 of those players, explains the origins of the names, and presents a brief biography. The nicknames are broken down into categories that attempt to explain how and why the renaming took place: physical appearance, personality, skill sets, racial/ethnic background, etc. Hop in the "wayback machine" and have some fun.

Professional baseball is full of arcane team names. The Los Angeles Dodgers, for instance, owe their nickname to the trolley tracks that honeycombed Brooklyn in the early 1880s. (Residents were "trolley dodgers.") From the Negro Leagues, there were the Pittsburgh Crawfords (sponsored early by the Crawford Bath House and Recreation Center); from the minors, the Tucson Waddies (slang for cowboy) and, later, the Montgomery Biscuits (for the would-be concessions staple); from overseas, the Adelaide, Australia, Bite (a shark reference but also a pun for bight) and the Bussum, Netherlands, Mr. Cocker HCAW (the sponsoring restaurant chain, followed by the acronym for the official team name, Honkbalclub Allan Weerbaar). This comprehensive reference book explains the nicknames of thousands of major and minor league franchises, Negro League and early independent black clubs, and international teams--from 1869 through 2011.
