Wasn't Guidry also known as Ragin' Cajun and the Gator ?

I have lots of favorites...

Top on my list....Chairman of the Board...I believed it was coined by Elston Howard

Yankee Clipper, Joltin Joe....Joe D

Donnie Baseball...no explanation is required...

Iron Horse

Scooter- Rizzuto I believed it was coined by Mel Allen.

....and who will forget...Mr October and present day fan favorite...Mr November that being Jeter...

Always proud to be a Yankee fan.
