Wikipedia lists Jeff Bagwell’s nickname as "BagPipes". Now I hate to go against the site that basically put me through high school, but for once I’m calling Wikipedia out. I mean has anyone ever called him BagPipes. That’s pretty lame. I mean did pitchers not throw inside to Bagwell because they didn’t want him to charge the mound in his kilt and beat their brains in with an outdated woodwind instrument?
His nickname should clearly be Jeff Swagwell. This guy just oozes swag. Look at his batting stance. He basically told Tom Emanski and his back to back to back AAU National Championships to back off when it comes to prototypical batting stances. Swagwell dominated the National League in the 90’s alongside arguably the scrappiest player of all time, Craig Biggio. I miss waking up before school, turning on Sportscenter, and watching Swag absolutely tattoo a ball out of the Astro Dome.
