Randy Johnson, a.k.a "The Big Unit", was eighth on a list of the nine best nicknames in Major League Baseball. Here's the excerpt:
8. Randy "The Big Unit" Johnson, P, Arizona Diamondbacks: Such a perfect way to describe a man who broke into big-league baseball with a never-before-seen 6-foot-10 frame, a 98-mph fastball, a sick slider coming from a wayward left hand, a magical, mystical mullet, a mustachioed scowl and a Hall of Fame career in front of him. The fact that Tim "Rock" Raines gave him his nickname makes it even more legendary.Number one on the list is Boof Bonser from the Twins (he actually legally changed his name to Boof...so not really a nickname anymore). "Big Papi", "The Big Hurt", and others made the list as well.

The Unit should have been number one...it has so many possibilities
