Our third bonus comes from the realm of Sports..... the Sultan of Swat, The Big Dipper, Broadway Joe, the Golden Jet, and the Say Hey Kid-- yes, sporst fans, nicknames can identify the stars even quicker than their given names. To have identified those players as Babe Ruth, Wilt Chamberlain, Joe Namath, Bobby Hull and Willie Mays, one needs only a passing interest in the sports page.
