NO, NO, NO, ... Hey, you are the one person that I have not bored to death about the kid. I knew someone was out there. I have high spirits now knowing that I can repeat my pasted and re-pasted stories and there is a new set of eyes for them. I'm so happy! LOL!
Actually, BB really started when another coach said that when she threw a pitch, she made the ball look like a "BB." From there people started calling her BB and it just so happened that her initials were "BB." Now, it has evolved to "BB" to represent her name. Funny how that happens. I was called "Cannonball" by my high school coach. That got shortened to "CB." My brother's name is Carl. So, when someone talks about "CB," many people in the area I grew up in have to determine if someone is talking about my brother or me. LOL! When I was coaching either baseball or softball and my team played in that area, the newspapers still referred to me as, "Cannonball." To tell you how that nickname stuck, I graduated HS in 1975. I'm old!
NOPE. I was given the nickname "Cannonball" when I took out a SS and 2B on different attempts at double plays. One broke his arm and the other broke his leg. Or, I guess I should say I did that. So, coach gave me the nickname saying that when I slide into second, I'm like a Cannonball taking people out.
