Best Pitcher in the Game, Very Odd Nickname

Vid00d · 03-17-2014, 09:45 PM

It's the female equivalent of Randy "Big Unit" Johnson.

Wonder what he did to get that nickname?

Let's make up a backstory

First time in the minors, guys take him out as it's 18 birthday, and they are near the Canadian border...kid grew up in a religious household, so he didn't know what a strip club was.

The guys and he come in between dancers and it's dark so he can't see what's go on around him, lights come on and a woman with Size EEE comes stumbling on the stage and Mike blurts out "TIT!" and that is all he says for the rest of the night

Nickname is born

He was fat and had manboobs

I prefer a background story that has something to do with a mishap working on a farm as a kid. Fill in your own specific details as you see fit.

I did a project on Great Tits in high school.

Well, Tug McGraw got his nickname from his mom because of the aggressive way he breast-fed as a baby, so maybe it's not so far-fetched.

I blame this on Steam.

According to baseball reference, Charles H. Willis is the real player with that nickname. He was a minor league player in the 1880s and 1890s. I kinda wish I could have found more info on him. :/
