Gotta agree with bubba9497 -- Dick "Night Train" Lane is a great nickname. Wikipedia says he "acquired the nickname "Night Train" from a hit record by Buddy Morrow frequently played by his teammate, Tom Fears". Don't know what the song is about but the nickname sure sounds like someone who hits with bad intentions!

Night Train Lane is my all-time favorite too.

I just like when Berman says dumb things like

Daylight come and you got a Delhomme

Mike "After dinner" Minter

Josh Tears of McCown

Albert Winnie the Pujols

Mike Pepperoni Piazza

Cris If I Were a Carpenter

Cory "Uh-Oh Maggette-o"

Im sure theres plenty more. Me and my friends make up dumb nicknames all the time. They are all pretty stupid, but laughable.
