Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the two newest Baseball Hall of Famers: Roberto “Remember the” Alomar and Bert “Be Home” Blyleven. Alomar was chosen on 90% of the ballots by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, and Blyleven on 79.7. But folks, we’re here to talk nicknames, not numbers.
 
Who do you turn to for baseball nicknames? Chris Berman. Boomer’s creation of Bert “Be Home” Blyleven may just be his finest work ever, but there are plenty more monickers that deserve mention as well. Check these out…
